Contemporary Jurisprudence

The Director of International Affairs at the Institute for Contemporary Jurisprudential Studies, in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/4

Cyberspace is not solely a challenge for our country or Islamic countries; it engages all nations worldwide. The question arises: Can we adopt the experiences of other countries in governing cyberspace for our own nation? Does the Islamic nature of our governance hinder such adoption or make it more challenging? Dr. Abdulmajid Moballeghi does not consider the role of religion in governance in non-Islamic countries to be so prominent as to prevent our Islamic country from utilizing their experiences. The Director of International Affairs at the Institute for Contemporary Jurisprudential Studies, who has long been engaged in international activism and observation, believes that the most critical factor in achieving effective cyberspace governance is impactful citizen education.

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslemin Hossein Adabi in an Exclusive Article:

Principle of media jurisprudence/19

It could be said that media is both simple and complex. It is simple in the sense that almost everyone considers themselves familiar with it and recognizes and uses at least some of its manifestations. It is complex because defining it precisely presents challenges, including overlaps with art, culture, virtual space, and more, making it extremely difficult to delineate boundaries between them. Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslemin Hossein Adabi Charami, a professor of advanced levels at the Mashhad Seminary and a researcher of media jurisprudence, explores the nature and dimensions of media jurisprudence in this exclusive article.

Principle of media jurisprudence/17

Hujjat al-Islam Seyed Mohammad Mahdi Rafi’pour Tehrani has been teaching advanced lessons in media jurisprudence at the Tehran Seminary for several years. Having studied for many years at the Qom Seminary under scholars such as Ayatollahs Tabrizi, Vahid Khorasani, Shubayri Zanjani, and Ha’eri, he returned to the Tehran Seminary. In addition to his seminary education, he pursued university studies up to the doctoral level. On the occasion of his teaching advanced lessons in media jurisprudence, we asked him about the nature of media jurisprudence. According to the author of An Introduction to Media Jurisprudence, due to its nascent nature, media jurisprudence has not yet reached a consensus among jurists regarding its definition and scope of issues. Therefore, we must wait a few years for this emerging jurisprudential discipline to achieve relative stability.

Judicial Practical Principles/3

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Dr. Seyed Hassan Vahdati Shabiri, in addition to his expertise in fiqh and uṣūl al-fiqh, is well-versed in the field of law, particularly civil law. As a faculty member of the Private Law Department at the University of Qom, he has, for decades, integrated principles, fiqh, and law in his research and teaching in both the seminary and university settings. Regarding practical principles in fiqh and civil law, he believes that there are fundamentally no practical principles exclusive to civil law or civil fiqh. However, there are principles that are more frequently applied and thus more prevalent in fiqh and civil law compared to other practical principles. The president of the Faqāhat School of the Family of the Prophet (PBUH), in this exclusive interview, also discussed the difference between acts of worship and social rulings in terms of the extent to which practical principles are applied.

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Reza Fallah Tafti stated:

Principle of media jurisprudence/13

It could perhaps be said that media is the most significant miracle of the twentieth century onward—a media that, in addition to its vast scope of influence, which likens it to a miracle, has also encountered numerous complexities. This very fact makes the exploration of its jurisprudential issues challenging, and providing effective answers to the questions of media fiqh depends on proper subject identification and a comprehensive understanding of the media’s significant and complex dimensions.
