Moroccan adouls, traditional notaries specializing in Islamic law, have resumed their professional duties as of April 2026, according to local reports. The adouls, who handle marriage contracts, inheritances, and other legal documents, had been suspended earlier due to administrative reforms.
The resumption follows a decision by the Moroccan Ministry of Justice to reinstate their services after addressing regulatory concerns. Adouls play a crucial role in the country's legal system, particularly in family and property matters.
This development is expected to streamline legal procedures for citizens who rely on adouls for notarial acts. The ministry has not yet released an official statement on the specific terms of the reinstatement.
