The Bangsamoro Darul Ifta' (BDI-BARMM) is an Islamic advisory council which has jurisdiction over the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
The Regional Darul Ifta (RDI) of Bangsamoro was created during the existence of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Then-ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman institutionalized Islamic jurisconsult in the region when he issued Executive Order 9, series of 2014 in September 2013 which created a transitional office of the jurisconsult that would oversee religious activities in ARMM as well as the propagation of Islam. [1] The office was a temporary one with the Regional Legislative Assembly considering to establish a permanent jurisconsult body. [2]
The Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 323 signed by Governor Hataman in 2015 superseded Executive Order 9. The legislation established the Regional Darul Ifta' of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as the Islamic religious authority in the region to deal with issues and concerns of the region's Muslim population. [1] The implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the legislation establishing the RDI became effective in March 2017. [2]
The Islamic body remained extant when the ARMM was succeeded by the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
The Darul Ifta of Bangsamoro's primary role is the promulgation and issuance of fatwa or legal opinions concerning Muslim personal laws as well as jurisprudence with the Article VIII, Section 20 of Republic Act 9054 as the basis for this function. Republic Act 9054 tackles the expansion of the Organic Act of the ARMM. The jurisconsult body also has an advisory role, serving as a consultant to the Bangsamoro regional government in affairs related to Islamic laws, jurisprudence and ecclesiastical matters as well as the religious guide for the region's politicians, government employees and professionals.

The Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 323 mandates the establishment of provincial offices in the then-extant ARMM which should be headed by a provincial mufti selected among the resident Ulama of the relevant province. [1]
In the Philippines, regions are administrative divisions that primarily serve to coordinate planning and organize national government services across multiple local government units (LGUs). Most national government offices provide services through their regional branches instead of having direct provincial or city offices. Regional offices are usually but not necessarily located in the city designated as the regional center.
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao was an autonomous region of the Philippines, located in the Mindanao island group of the Philippines, that consisted of five predominantly Muslim provinces: Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. It was the only region that had its own government. The region's de facto seat of government was Cotabato City, although this self-governing city was outside its jurisdiction.
Shariff Kabunsuan was a short-lived province of the Philippines within the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) that existed from 2006 to 2008. Its designated seat of government was Datu Odin Sinsuat. Initially comprising ten municipalities carved out of Maguindanao, Shariff Kabunsuan was created by virtue of Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 201; this law was nullified by the Supreme Court of the Philippines in 2008, thus disestablishing the province.
ARMM Regional Assembly, also known as ARMM Regional Legislative Assembly, was the devolved unicameral regional legislature of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). It was known as the "Little Congress" of the ARMM.
