About
Shaykh Yunus Dudhwala
Hospital chaplain, Islamic scholar, speaker and writer — accompanying people through the questions that matter most.
Twenty-seven years on the wards
Shaykh Yunus Dudhwala has served as an NHS hospital chaplain for more than twenty-seven years, sitting with patients and families through illness, bereavement and the end of life. That work — quiet, practical and human — shapes everything written here.
Scholarship and guidance
Trained in the classical Islamic sciences, he answers questions of fiqh with care and clarity — especially on Hajj and Ramadan — always setting the ruling in the context of the person asking.
Speaking and writing
He speaks to healthcare professionals, chaplains and NHS/EDI leaders, and writes for a wider public on faith, ethics and the news. The essays here reflect that range.
