Family mediators increasingly encounter matters where Islamic law and cultural considerations play an important role in resolving parenting and family disputes. This insightful workshop, presented by Prof Muneer Abduroaf, will explore the intersection of Islamic law and South African family mediation, with a particular focus on the practical considerations that arise when mediating disputes and drafting parenting plans involving Muslim families.

Drawing on his extensive academic expertise, legal practice, and community leadership, Prof Abduroaf will provide mediators with valuable guidance on navigating religious and legal considerations in a culturally sensitive and legally informed manner. This session will equip practitioners with a deeper understanding of the issues that may influence parenting arrangements, enabling them to facilitate more effective, respectful, and sustainable outcomes for families.
