Islam in Madagascar is a minority religion, with most Madagascans adhering to Christianity.[1] Due to secular nature of the Madagascar's constitution, Muslims are free to proselytize and build places of worship in the country.
Islam has been well established in what is now known as Madagascar for centuries and today Muslims represent 2 to 5 percent of the total population.[2][3][4][5] The vast majority of Muslims in Madagascar practice Sunni Islam of the Shafi school of jurisprudence,[1] with sizeable Shia communities.[citation needed]
