Dear Muhtaram Mufti Assalamu alaikum I would like to know if there are any dar ul ulooms which teach Shafi madhab in UK, South Africa etc. I would also like to know if learning islam via correspondence through the American open university (http://www.open-university.edu/) which is apparently recognised by the prestigious Al Azhar university in cairo, would be a good way of learning Islamic aqeeda and concepts. Jazkallahumal khair.
Our institute, Dar al-`Ulum al-`Arabiyyah al-Islamiyyah (mt_k@hotmail.com),
in the Western Cape, South Africa, teaches the Shafi’i madhhab. I will
comment upon the American Open University to persons more equipped and
informed than myself.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
