C – Publication of books on Fiqh: Editing manuscripts from world libraries, identifying each of them and acquiring, if necessary, their images in order to print them, and reprinting the known books of jurisprudence that have a shortage in printing.

D -Indexation of Fiqh books by underlining the subjects that will facilitate their use.

• The issuance of fatwas on important issues is based on the examination of the relevant division specializing in a fatwa on various general issues in which Shariah-based solutions are sought to provide solutions emanating from the Islamic Shariah that help foster the growth and development of Muslim societies in the right direction.
