Jurisprudence (Fiqh)
Course Overview:
• Course Description:
Allah (SWT) has created us and designed some laws for us to make use of our body and soul, the most. When the Imams are publicly available, we take our religion from them. At the time of occultation, we take our laws from the greatest Islamic Scholars. By using detailed books of law of the two great Marja’ of our time, (Ayatullah Sistani and Ayatullah Khamenei), Ilqa Academy has designed a course for kids of different ages to teach them Islamic Laws in details. Students will be able to ask questions if needed to make sure they have learnt the right laws to apply.
• Target Audience:
Students of different ages, starting from 4 years old, up to 12 years old
• Prerequisites:
