What is a fatwa?

Figh is the art of jurisprudence.

Ijtihad is the process of interpretation and analysis, and theorizing.

A person who practices figh is called a faqih.

A person who practices ijtihad is a mujtahid.

A fatwa, then, is a ruling on a given topic, issued by a faqih or a mujtahid. A fatwa can be positive or negative. It can also express gradations of opinion that reflect the lack of a conclusive answer to a given question.
