"Unifying the scholars' stance upon the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and consolidating their efforts in serving society's causes and safeguarding lives, is among the most imperative of obligations and the noblest of acts of devotion."

The Muslim Scholars Association in Lebanon is an overarching institutional scholarly framework for Sunni scholars and preachers in Lebanon. It was established in 2012 in response to major challenges confronting Lebanon and the wider Islamic arena, bringing together leading jurists, scholars, and professors of Islamic law.

Our vision is to establish ourselves as Lebanon's foremost and trusted scholarly authority—distinguished by a measured institutional voice and a structured, influential digital presence. Our mission is to shape and steward scholarly engagement, transforming perspectives and insights into professional content that serves the pressing causes of the nation and the wider community.

The body operates under a strict institutional protocol: routine dispatches are cleared by its media officer; general positions are subject to administrative and media vetting; while any matter touching on sensitive political, security, or legal affairs requires the exclusive sign-off of the organization's president or administrative office. Nothing is deemed to represent the organization beyond what is published through its official website and channels.

The Authority has set up a dedicated press center, complete with a press kit and a direct contact form available at press@muslimolama.net, alongside the media office line at +961 1 850 000, for coordinating interviews and engagements with the accredited official spokesperson.

The Authority offers seven flagship media programs and platforms: Who We Are, The Authority's Stance, The Scholars' Forum, Questions & Answers Through the Lens of Sharia, Lebanon Through the Lens of Sharia, The Authority's Archive, and The Case File.

The Muslim Scholars Association in Lebanon is an inclusive Islamic scholarly body for Sunni scholars. It was established in Lebanon in late May 2012, and its founding declaration was issued on June 1, 2012, in Beirut with the participation of hundreds of scholars from various regions and governorates of Lebanon, aiming to unite scholars and preachers, coordinate their efforts, and strengthen their religious, social, and national presence.

The Association affirms in its bylaws and stated methodology that it is an overarching scholarly framework, not a political party. It adheres to the authority of Islam, Shura (consultation), respect for jurisprudential diversity, and the consolidation of values of justice and peaceful coexistence. It also participates responsibly in public discussions on political, national, and humanitarian issues based on its religious and moral duty of counsel.

The Association regards Dar al-Fatwa and the Supreme Islamic Sharia Council as the unifying religious authority for Sunnis in Lebanon. Since its inception, one of the Association's primary goals has been to activate these institutions, defend their complete independence, shield them from political conflicts and exploitation, and enhance the representation of competent scholars within them.

The Association operates according to a strict institutional system for media and discourse governance: routine news and activities are accredited by the media officer; general stances undergo collaborative review; and sensitive religious, political, or security issues are exclusively approved by the President of the Association and the Administrative Board. Issuing any statement in the name of the Association outside approved authorities is strictly prohibited.

The website provides an accredited Press Kit containing spokesperson information, high-resolution logos and photos, and official statement archives. Journalists and media institutions can also connect directly via the official email (media@muslimolama.net) or join the accredited journalists database to receive urgent press releases.
