General Authority Of Islamic Affairs & Endowment

GAIAE started answering Islamic ruling queries via its toll free number (8002422) in 2007. In the beginning it received an average of between 200 and 250 phone calls a day, but this figure had grown by time. So in order to cope with the increasing demand and offer a full range of services, a Fatwa Centre was established at the GAIAE premises in May, 2008. The Centre was inaugurated by H.H. Lieutenant General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Interior and Deputy Prime Minister, on Shaaban 27, 1429 (corresponding to August 28, 2008).
