A survey of 20 imams in 20 different mosques in the districts of Dhaka, Narsingdi and Gazipur, Bangladesh, during the spring of 1995 indicated that only six of them had frequent requests for offering fatawa. Dr Saad Andalib of Pennsylvania State University, USA, helped the author in designing the brief questionnaire of that survey.
