Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of fatwas carried out by the DUM RD (Religious Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Dagestan) in the period from 12/4/2017 to 05/19/2022. At the beginning, a general analysis and classification of fatwas for the entire specified period is made. A total of 760 fatwas were considered. Their topics cover issues of belief, worship, trade, personal status, social problems, medicine and crime. Below here are the statistics of fatwas for each separate year. Moreover, here we can observe three fatwas given as an example of the Dagestan ulema issuing theological and legal conclusions. Analyzing the sources on which the employees of the DUM RD relied when issuing the first hundred fatwas, it was revealed that in most cases they refer to the book «Tuhfat al-mukhtaj”, and to a lesser extent to a number of other authoritative writings among the Shafiites.
