Muftī Qāḍī Sayyid Amjad M Mohammed (Urdu: امجد محمد is a British Islamic scholar who is dean and head scholar at the British Olive Foundation. He has written and lectured extensively on fiqh, Sharia, organ donation,[1] moonsighting, jurisprudence for Muslim minorities in the West, Muslim education within the West,[2] usul al-fiqh, and Islamic finance. He sits on multiple Sharia and fatwa boards,[3] and holds advisory positions at several financial institutions pursuing Islamic banking or finance.[4]
RG Advisory
Mohammed is the Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of RG Advisory which describe their mission as "We are committed to providing opportunities for wealth growth and fostering entrepreneurship through expert guidance, diverse investment options, and unwavering support. With a shared vision of prosperity, we aim to make your dreams a reality. Together, we build brighter futures."
Muslims in non-Muslim lands
Mohammed‘s main focus is on the concept of minority jurisprudence (fiqh al-aqalliyat) and tradition-based or Sharia hermeneutics.[5] His book, Muslims in non-Muslim Lands: A Legal Study with Applications, explains how the British Muslim community developed its faith identity through three particular stances: assimilation, isolation and integration. The findings argue that the assumption that Islam causes Muslims to isolate from the indigenous population and form ‘a state within a state’ is false, and that Islamic law actually gives Muslims confidence and the ability to integrate within the wider society.[6]
Fatwa exposing OneCoin scheme
Cryptocurrency OneCoin is deemed one of the world’s biggest crypto-scams. OneCoin claimed to have a Shariah-compliant certificate about which Mufti Amjad Mohammed started to receive queries by uncertain Muslim investors. After careful inspection of the OneCoin terms and conditions, Mohammed issued a fatwa saying that Muslims should not invest in OneCoin.[7] In response, OneCoin claimed they had changed their T&Cs, but he still advised against Muslims investing as OneCoin could not be found on any cryptocurrency exchanges.[8][9][10][11][12]
