Fuqaha or El-Foqaha (Arabic: الفقهاء) is a spring-fed town in central Libya, 200 km by road south of Sokna, on the western edge of the great central Haruj volcano and lava field. It is an isolated Berber-speaking locale, and it shares this identity with the oasis of Sokna to its north.
Fuqaha was one of the last holdouts of loyalists in the 2011 Libyan civil war.
