Al-Fath Islamic Institute was established in (1956 A.D. /1375 H) by the renowned Scholar Muhammad Saleh Al-Farfour. The institute was initially a sort of activities practiced in the form of a mosque- “halaqat” (i.e. Semicircle groups) of students of religion tutored by Sheikh Saleh. Having increased in number and activity, it turned to be “Fatih Islamic Charitable Society”. Later on the halaqat turned to an institute. The institute acquired good reputation that led to the attraction of many imams and scholars from various towns of Syria, Turkey, Ethiopia, Jordan and other countries. Later the institute gathered all its branches of learning into a large present site next to Bilal Mosque, Damascus. In 1983 Sheikh Saleh appointed Dr. Abdul Fattah al-Bizm, the grand mufti of Damascus, as the Director of al-Fatih Institute. After the demise of sheikh Saleh, Sheikh Abdul Razzaq Al-halabi presided over the Institute. Dr. Husam al-Farfour (the son of M. Saleh) is currently the head of the undergraduate and postgraduate studies program.

Unfortunately the Hajj agency for this deal strictly requires that each selected sister be accompanied by a Mahram (Any man with whom a woman has a relationship (of blood or fosterage) that precludes marriage, is considered a Mahram to her). At this time, the Al-Rashid Mosque cannot afford to pay for the sister’s Mahram. So when a sister is selected for Hajj, her Mahram will have to arrange himself for his own hajj expenses unless their names are both picked in the draw. Shaykh Maher (Imam of the Al-Rashid Mosque) will do the draw.
