The Muslim Law (Shariah) Council UK

About The Muslim Law (Shariah) Council UK

The Muslim Law (Shariah) Council UK is a religious advice and dispute-resolution organisation at 20–22 Creffield Road in Ealing, London. Its operator states that the council was established in 1985 and works on social, family and matrimonial matters through scholars, legal advisers and professional therapists. Published services include mediation and religious processes relating to nikah, talaq and khula. This page describes an office, not a mosque or visitor attraction.

The council’s current homepage carries an important temporary notice: major works are taking place at its offices, new applications are not being accepted and telephone lines are unavailable. That notice overrides the ordinary business hours shown farther down the page, so no weekly opening-hours or operating-status fact is recorded here. The operator warns users to verify organisations claiming affiliation and to avoid services promising guaranteed or fast-track divorce. A UK Parliament briefing notes that sharia councils have no official legal or constitutional role in the United Kingdom. Contact the council through its official website only after checking whether applications and office services have resumed, and seek independent legal advice for civil-law questions.
