Fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence, is the body of rulings derived from the Quran, Sunnah, scholarly consensus (ijma), and analogical reasoning (qiyas) that guides how Muslims worship, interact, and conduct their daily affairs. It covers everything from the detailed steps of performing wudu and salah to the rules of trade, marriage, inheritance, and fasting. A solid grounding in fiqh is essential for every Muslim who wants to practice their faith correctly and confidently.

Our fiqh quiz questions are designed to test practical Islamic knowledge across topics like the conditions and pillars of prayer, the categories of water for purification, the rulings on zakat and its recipients, the etiquettes of fasting in Ramadan, the obligations of Hajj, and the Islamic guidelines for business transactions. We focus on areas of broad scholarly agreement and clearly note where legitimate differences of opinion exist among the four major madhabs (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali).

Learning fiqh through trivia is a powerful way to identify gaps in your practical knowledge. Many Muslims perform acts of worship their entire lives without understanding the underlying rulings or the evidence behind them. Each question in our fiqh quiz includes a source reference — whether a Quranic ayah, hadith, or scholarly citation — so that every correct answer becomes a stepping stone to deeper understanding. From beginner-level questions about the five pillars to advanced rulings that challenge students of knowledge, there is something here for every level.
