Islamic edict (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fatwa

(Other definitions for fatwa that I've seen before include "Legal decision by Islamic religious leader" , "Ruling or sentence by Islamic religious leader" , "Muslim decree or formal legal judgement" , "threat" , "Islamic sentence as on Salman Rushdie" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
