Overview
The Department of Islamic Fundamentals was established in the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies in 1401 AH (1981 AD) by Royal Decree No. (6366). Initially, it was exclusive to male students, who could earn a Bachelor's degree in Islamic Fundamentals. Later, the department expanded to include female students through a distance education system. In the academic year 1443 AH / 1444 AH (2021 AD / 2022 AD), regular classes for female students were officially launched.
In 1442 AH (2021 AD), the University Affairs Council made Decision No. (10/3/1442) approving the incorporation of the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies into King Faisal University.
