A Fatwa is about copying a command with clarity and answering difficult Shari'ah issues which are uncommon. The person who fulfills such kind of responsibility and issues a fatwa is called “Mufti” in Islamic theology and “Bishop” in Christianity. The Mufti is indeed the bearer and preacher of the rules of Shariah. Bishop is considered successor of the apostles, the ruler of a particular church. Bishop's responsibilities include conducting religious ceremonies, resolving spiritual issues, protecting morals, preaching and burial or funeral, and enforcing the faith of the faithful. Both the Islamic and Christian theology have set forth different rules for issuing fatwa and both the mufti and bishop are bound to follow those rules in issuing of a fatwa. There could be occasional mistakes in the process of fatwa. However, remedial measures also exist in both the religions which are applied to rectify those mistakes. When a mufti issues a fatwa (Judgment), then in what circumstances and to what extent it affects the decision of the court or judiciary(Qaza)? Is there any provision in these religions wherein the fatwa cannot be challenged and that the content of the fatwa be considered as the last verdict? In this paper, authors provide answers to such queries and further provides a literary and comparative study of all these matters related to issuance of fatwa
