The religion of Muslims in Benin is Islam.
Benin has a diverse religious landscape, with Islam being the second-largest religion after Christianity. The majority of Muslims in Benin are Sunni Muslims, adhering to the teachings of the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence.
Islam was introduced to Benin through trade routes from North Africa and the Middle East, primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries. The majority of Muslims in Benin are found in the northern and central regions of the country, particularly in the cities of Porto-Novo, Cotonou, and Parakou.
While Islam is an important part of Benin's cultural and religious fabric, the country is known for its religious tolerance and harmonious coexistence between different faiths.
