The thesis examines the current social and legal status of Moroccan Christians and foreign Christians in Morocco. The problems in relation to this Christian minority group led me to face this issue from a historical, cultural, and legal point of view. Particularly, the starting point for conducting this research was the analysis of the fatwa issued in 2017 by the Council of Muslim Theologians presided over by His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco. The fatwa is the answer that Muslim theologians give regarding any question that is addressed to them on Islam; therefore, Muslims should behave according to the dictates of theologians through the fatwa. The research presents an analysis of this 2017 fatwa which is called “Sabīl al-ʿUlamāʾ – ‘the way of the ʿUlamāʾ’”, in which Moroccan theologians have given a new interpretation for all those who abandon the way of the prophet Muhammed to embrace a new faith. The novelty is that these subjects are no longer sentenced to death for apostasy (renunciation of their faith) or ridda. Finally, the empirical part of my research was carried out during fieldwork in Morocco, the research has been conducted through the method of participant observation, semi-structured individual interviews and the organisation of focus groups. Both the gender and the age of the respondents are varied. My specific aim was to comprehend if the 2017 fatwa had somehow changed their lives, if it had given them more religious freedom.
