Yusuf al-Qaradawi was an Egyptian Islamic scholar based in Doha, Qatar, and the founding chairman of the International Union of Muslim Scholars. His influence as the leading ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood coincided with significant immigration of Brotherhood families to the West, particularly the UK and the United States. He aimed to reconcile the Brotherhood's Islamist objectives with Western legal and political systems through the concept of 'Jurisprudence of Minorities' (Fiqh al-Aqalliyyat).
