Shafi madhab and correspondence course in islam
Question
Dear Muhtaram Mufti Assalamu alaikum I would like to know if there are any dar ul ulooms which teach Shafi madhab in UK, South Africa etc. I would also like to know if learning islam via correspondence through the American open university (http://www.open-university.edu/) which is apparently recognised by the prestigious Al Azhar university in cairo, would be a good way of learning Islamic aqeeda and concepts. Jazkallahumal khair.
Answer
Our institute, Dar al-`Ulum al-`Arabiyyah al-Islamiyyah (mt_k@hotmail.com), in the Western Cape, South Africa, teaches the Shafi'i madhhab. I will comment upon the American Open University to persons more equipped and informed than myself.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
