Since 2015, EDEP Summer School for Advanced Islamic Studies has been uniting students of sacred knowledge with some of the most eminent scholars of our time. In past years, the intensive has been hosted in Istanbul. However, amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the extreme limitations on international travel, which will likely remain in place to some degree throughout the summer, the Seventh Annual Summer School for Advanced Islamic Studies program will be held online.
It will be divided into two-week modules.

(2) The second two-week module: Fiqh (5x/week) and Usul al-fiqh (5x/week). (plus two elective courses on 'ilm al-wad' and tasawwuf)
The language of the classes will be Arabic, though some seminars may be held in English. Classes will be held on weekdays, with additional seminars by visiting scholars on Saturdays. Two courses will be offered per day, each will be 1.5 hours long, and they will be conducted from 4 pm – 7:30 pm Turkey time. (The detailed program to be announced)
