Insights
Faith and law, in plain language.
Careful reading on the questions we are asked most, written by the people who answer them. Not a news feed. Not a blog. Pieces are added only when they have been written and reviewed.

Four topics
Each path leads to a page that sets out where Islamic principles and English law agree, where they do not, and what to do about it.
-
Family
Marriage, separation and inheritance. The religious act and the legal act are different things.
-
Business
Partnerships, contracts, structure and succession, on Islamic principles and enforceable in English law.
-
Mediation
A private room before a public one. When it helps, when it does not, and what English courts now expect.
-
Principles
The ideas under the practical pages: what Islamic principles ask, how English law treats religious agreements, and how LawFiq works between the two.
How Insights is written
Real names. Both sides checked. Dated.
- Who writes
Every piece carries the name of the member of LawFiq’s team who wrote it. Nothing is generated to order.
- Review
Points of Islamic principle are reviewed by the Islamic Board. Points of English law are checked against the law of England and Wales on the date of writing. Where the two produce different results, the piece says so.
- What it is not
General reading, not advice on your situation. Reading it does not make you a client. Where regulated legal services are required, these are provided by our partner SRA-regulated law firm. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@lawfiq.com.
Book a consultation
If the pages raise a question about your own situation, ask it.
A confidential first conversation. General reading is where understanding starts. Advice is where it becomes yours.
