The website is headed by Hanif Yusuf. He completed the memorisation of the Holy Qur‘an and the ‘Alimiyyah programme at a Darul-Uloom (an Islamic seminary) in U.K. He thereafter travelled to Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah, Durban, South Africa, to train as a Mufti under the tutelage of Mufti Ebrahim Desai and Mufti Husain Kadodia (may Allah preserve them both. Ameen).

Quotes from senior Scholars

In this era of scientific calculations and technological advancements, when innovation is the name of the game, it is amazing to observe how innovation itself is used to preserve the pristine purity of Islam and our original values. It is indeed a challenge to live in modern times and practice on a pure path shown to us 1500 years ago by Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wasallam).

The website of sincere and dedicated Ulama serve like pathways in the centre of the ocean saving the Ummah from drowning in this world that is infested and saturated with all forms of evil.

It is pleasing to note the launch of the website www.askourimam.com by Mufti Hanif Saheb (May Allah preserve him).
Mufti Hanif Saheb has studied his Mufti course under me. I have observed great talents and potential in him which are also manifested in the website: www.askourimam.com and his Fatawa.

It is my dua that Allah make the website www.askourimam.com the Imam for people searching for righteousness.

اللهم اجْعَله لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Oh my Allah, make it the Imam (leader) of the Muttaqeen (righteous)
