Visits in Religious Studies
Homan noted ‘Religious buildings are rich and stimulating educational resources’ (1993, 7).
Bastide benefits from visits: “Cognitive: pupils can see objects of worship and identify them. Affective: the atmosphere of a place can speak to the feelings” (1999, 144).
Hay specified that “An educational approach to religion that avoids its practical life is rather like a scientific education which prohibits students from entering a laboratory’ (in Grimmitt, 2000, 73).

Anticipated benefits to law students of engaging with local mosques
To understand a greater sense of ‘originality’ about the development of Islamic legal theory
Through introduction to the Imam, an opportunity to see interpretation and counsel given to members of the Muslim community
Give context to the academic study of Islamic legal theory and its application

2. Making contact
providing an overview of roles within Muslim communities to help making contact with the appropriate person. This overview will also unpack the titles to appreciate the standing of the person within the community, identifying formal qualifications and faith based recognitions.
Terms and their meaningsMost masjids will have an Imam who is the
religious leader of the community. In addition, larger masjids will have a management committee, members of which may help with visits to the masjid.
