Intestinal stomas are common. Muslims report significantly lower quality of life following stoma surgery compared to non-Muslims. A fatwā is a ruling on a point of Islamic law according to a recognised religious authority. The use of fatawās to guide health-related decision-making has becoming an increasingly popular practice amongst Muslims, regardless of geographic location. This project aimed to improve the quality of life of Muslim ostomates by addressing faith-specific stoma concerns. Through close collaboration with Muslim ostomates, a series of 10 faith-related questions were generated, which were posed to invited local faith leaders during a stoma educational event. Faith leaders received education concerning the realities of stoma care before generating their fatawās. The event lead to the formulation of a series of stoma-specific fatawās representing Hanafi and Salafi scholarship, providing faith-based guidance for Muslim ostomates and their carers. Enhanced communication between healthcare providers and Islamic faith leaders allows for the delivery of informed fatawās that directly benefit Muslim patients and may represent an efficient method of improving health outcomes in this faith group.
肠造口很常见。与非穆斯林相比，穆斯林在造口手术后报告的生活质量显著较低。法特瓦是根据公认的宗教权威对伊斯兰法律某一点的裁决。无论地理位置如何，利用法特瓦来指导与健康相关的决策在穆斯林中已成为一种越来越普遍的做法。该项目旨在通过解决与信仰相关的特定造口问题来提高穆斯林造口者的生活质量。通过与穆斯林造口者密切合作，提出了一系列10个与信仰相关的问题，并在一次造口教育活动中向受邀的当地宗教领袖提出。在给出法特瓦之前，宗教领袖接受了关于造口护理实际情况的教育。该活动促成了一系列代表哈乃斐学派和沙拉菲学派学术观点的特定造口法特瓦的制定，为穆斯林造口者及其护理人员提供了基于信仰的指导。医疗保健提供者与伊斯兰宗教领袖之间加强沟通，能够提供直接惠及穆斯林患者的明智法特瓦，这可能是改善该信仰群体健康结果的一种有效方法。
