Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you advise on the process of reverting to Islam? Should one take the shahada with an imam\/sheikh and have a certain number of witnesses? Or is taking the shahada alone valid?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When it comes to a person reverting to Islam it is not a requirement for a person to pronounce the Shah\u0101dah in public with an Imam or witnesses. However, it is recommended for a new revert to inform some members of the Muslim community in order to facilitate their Islamic learning and in acquiring access to any facilities that their area may offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
