Harmony between everyday life and Islam is very important for Muslims. It may seem easy, as the Quran and Hadith permeate all aspects of the lives of their believers. Nevertheless, Muslims do often have doubts in certain areas of life. In an attempt to resolve or reduce these doubts, they often decide to ask for help. The answer can be fatwas—pieces of advice or guidance that help Muslims live closer to God and avoid mistakes. This article analyses the examples of fatwas issued by muftis of Egyptian institution responsible about issuing fatwas—Dar al-iftaʾ al-misriyah concerning areas such as advances in technology and medicine, globalization, and so on. The goal is to determine if shaykhs from Dar al-iftaʾ al-misriyah try to combine in their religious legislation the centuries-old tradition and modernity that contemporary times try to impose on them or if they merely remain strongly rooted in their legacy without accepting the world that moves around them.
