Seminar on Contemporary Fiqh: Issues and Challenges

Introduction

This seminar aims to provide a platform for experts from both academic community and industry to engage on an in-depth analysis of pertinent themes in contemporary fiqh. This is necessary as the huge literature of fatwas and collective ijtihad on contemporary legal issues both at local and global arena contain some views and perspectives which are somewhat polemical and controversial particularly when viewed from a broader Shari`ah perspective. For instance, in the area of banking and finance, in some jurisdictions riba is bypassed through fictitious sales and purchases; genetically modified foods are given blanket legitimacy on the basis of questionable analogy with the traditional concept of Istihalah; therapeutic cloning is sanctioned on the basis of the uncritical adoption of classical theory on fetal embryology; just to mention a few instances. Accordingly, the paper presented in this seminar should be identifying Islamic juridical methodological frameworks, paradigms and parameters within which the diverse authentic juridical views could be synchronized and determined.
