FATWA   - A verdict on a legal question  In these times given by the Sheikh-Ul  Azhar in Cairo Egypt. Other Fatwa are made by Sheikh in Saudi Arabia .Shia Muslims have their own noble legal system ..  The opinions of  Saudi Ullema are disregarded because they are outside the Ahl Us Sunnah wal Jammah  (the 4 Madhabs ).The opinions of such Sheikh are disregarded if they do not follow any Madhab. In other words they are not qualified and they are also heretical in their approach to law .They also refuse consensus - IJMA .By way of comparison you can see the difference between the way educated women are teated in Iran and the remarks of Ibn Baaz on the college educated woman . On a graph they are opposite each other . Muslims are allowed personal conscience and personal opinion . This is not islamic law however.

FITRAH -   The natural state of humankind which is submission to the will of Allah. Meaning that all of creation is under Allah's command because Allah is the creatorof their existence .Allah's natural creation . For this reason new Muslims are called "reverts" meaning they have returned to their creator.Muslims believe that Islam is the natural state of humans. 

Note:

The Qur'an teaches  that societies and families create and teach religions and beliefs  in their children.This concept is easily understood when one looks at the early history of Christianity .the Romans, who were pagans patched together this religion from the cult of mithras , gnosticism and Roman pagan rites, ie. sacraments. All of this was created by ROMANS  and grafted onto Jewish religion (see A History of Heresy by Christie.) Among the early Christians only the Eastern Rite was saved from the worst of it.The worst of it being Babylonian caste system  astrology (meaning the book of revelations ). Jews never accepted it nor have Muslims. This is the world view promoted by the evangelical christians . The PESHITTA TEXT never included it ,up until George Lamsa agreed to translate it for them in the 70s .The 1933 edition does not include it . This edition rarely survives looters,even in special collections.

 The Romans, Babylonians and the Americans  have in common these traits as cultures based on the astrological caste system : war as a way of economic life, the economic enslavement of the masses,and sexual licentiousness and sexual slavery . This is not the natural state of humans .
