High Court fatwa ruling raises alarm over sharia courts in UK
A sharia council’s religious ruling influenced a judge’s decision in a life-or-death case with critics saying this undermined secular democracy
A British sharia council was given credibility by the High Court when a judge used one of its fatwas to decide a case.
The Islamic Council, founded by the hardline preacher Haitham al-Haddad, issued a religious ruling forbidding a health trust from allowing a brain-damaged child to die. Secular campaigners said using fatwas in civil courts undermined liberal democracy.
An investigation by The Times this week found that Britain is the western capital for sharia councils, also known as sharia courts.
