Talha Waseem was born in Binghamton, NY and moved to Buffalo, NY at the age of 11, where he enrolled in Darul Uloom al-Madania to begin his Quran memorization. Upon its completion in 2011, he enrolled in the ʿĀlim course at the same institute and graduated in 2018 from its branch in Chatham, ON (Canada). Talha Waseem’s passion for Islamic jurisprudence drove him to apply at Darul Iftaa Chicago to specialize in the field of issuing legal verdicts (iftāʾ) under the tutelage of Mufti Abrar Mirza (may Allah ﷻ accept and reward him).

Talha Waseem graduated from Darul Iftaa Chicago in 2020 and co-authored al-Aqwāl al-Rājiḥa fī mā Khālafa al-Ṭaḥāwīy Abā Ḥanīfa as part of his thesis. After graduation, he moved back to Buffalo where he served as a full time ʿĀlim course instructor at Madinatul Uloom before relocating to Lombard, IL and joining the DarusSalam team.As an educator in "FQH 102: Usul-al-Fiqh: Foundations of Fiqh," Mufti Khan is passionate about bridging the past with the present, demonstrating the vitality and relevance of Islamic legal theory in modern context. His teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that a solid foundation in the origins and methodologies of Fiqh is essential for the cultivation of informed and thoughtful practitioners of the faith. Mufti Khan's enthusiasm for the subject is contagious, and he is committed to inspiring a new generation of scholars and jurists who are as deeply connected to their heritage as they are adept at navigating contemporary issues through the lens of Usul-al-Fiqh.
