Start where you are
What brings you here?
Most people come to us at a turning point. If one of these sounds like you, you are in the right place.
- We're getting married and want the nikah and the legal side done properly.
- My business partner and I need an agreement we both trust.
- I want a will that follows Faraid and stands up in an English court.
- We're a family business planning who takes over next.
- We're separating, and I want it handled fairly, Islamically and legally.
- We'd rather resolve this dispute privately than go to court.

Work with LawFiq
Our difference
Madinah meets Oxford.
The depth of Islamic scholarship and the rigour of English law, brought together in one service.
-
Rooted in scholarship.
Our Islamic Board is trained in classical fiqh, so the religious position you receive is the scholarly one.
-
English legal rigour.
The English side is held to the standard of the academy and the profession, and documented so it holds.
-
One clear conversation.
Both traditions are worked through together, so you never have to reconcile a scholar’s answer with a solicitor’s.
A meeting of traditions, not of institutions. Where regulated legal services are required, these are provided by our partner SRA-regulated law firm.
How it works
Three steps, no mystery
-
Tell us your situation
A confidential conversation to understand what's happening and what matters to you.
-
Get a clear plan
We explain where you stand under Islamic principles and English law, in plain words, with your options in front of you.
-
We see it through
Documents, mediation and follow-through, with the right specialist for each step.
