Ayatollah Mohammad Andalib Hamedani in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Fiqh:

Principle of media jurisprudence/12

What does ethical jurisprudence mean? Does it mean ethicizing the knowledge of jurisprudence or jurisprudentializing the knowledge of ethics, or something other than these two? Ayatollah Mohammad Andalib Hamedani believes we must pursue jurisprudentializing the knowledge of ethics; because ethics without jurisprudence lacks executive guarantee; and also this task is much easier than ethicizing the knowledge of jurisprudence. The long-time professor of advanced lessons in jurisprudence and principles at the Qom Seminary, of course, also emphasizes the necessity of raising ethical discussions in the knowledge of jurisprudence.

Principle of media jurisprudence/11

The fundamental definition of media, why we should have media, the reasons for the obligation to establish media, who should be in charge of media management, what tasks and imperatives and prohibitions we should have regarding media management, what the perils of media are—slander, lies, and false accusations—these are the types of issues that can be among the main topics of Fiqh of Media.

Ayatollah Sayyid Mujtaba noormofidi in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Principle of media jurisprudence/10

One of the needs of nascent jurisprudences, for the better resolution of their issues, is the establishment of jurisprudential principles specific to these domains. Jurisprudential principles, whether one accepts them or not, help to bring discipline and systematization to the domains of Fiqh. In the Fiqh of Media, owing to its nascent nature, not many jurisprudential principles have been presented. However, Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba noormofidi believes that the issues of Fiqh of Media today are completely different from those of the past and therefore require new jurisprudential principles. According to this professor of advanced kharij Fiqh and Usul at the Qom Seminary, some matters that were once considered incidental to media have now become intrinsic to it. The President of the Research Institute for Contemporary Jurisprudence, in this exclusive interview, analyzes contemporary Fiqh and its jurisprudential principles.

Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Ali Nahavandi States in a Note:

Principle of media jurisprudence/9

It can perhaps be said that among the researchers and professors of Fiqh of Media, Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Ali Nahavandi has exerted the most effort and diligence. The authorship of more than ten books and several articles, years of teaching advanced kharij lessons on the Fiqh of Media alongside numerous lectures at universities, ten years as the director of IRIB for Khorasan Province, and several years as the director of the Islamic Research Center for Media have made him one of the most important experts in the Fiqh of Media. In this note, which is derived from his lecture in the twelfth session of the training course on Fiqh of Media, Communications, and Cyberspace at Baqir al-Olum University, he analyzes the methodological differences between the Fiqh of Media and other jurisprudential domains. He considers the most important imperative for the Fiqh of Media, relative to traditional jurisprudences, to be the necessity of shifting from a subject-centric to a system-centric approach. The full text of this note, which he has provided to Contemporary Jurisprudence, follows:

Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Mohammad Ashayeri Monfared in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Principle of media jurisprudence/8

Methodology in contemporary jurisprudence has only been a focus of attention for a few years, and it is mentioned to some extent in the writings and lessons on the subject. Regarding nascent jurisprudential fields, especially the Fiqh of Media, the question has always been whether each of these jurisprudential domains has its own specific method for solving issues, or if contemporary jurisprudence, or the science of Fiqh as a whole, employs a single method for problem-solving. Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Mohammad Ashayeri Monfared extends the problem of methodology to all contemporary jurisprudences, though he considers it more severe in the Fiqh of Media. According to this professor and author from the Qom Seminary, to solve the issues of Fiqh of Media, we are compelled to use interdisciplinary studies; otherwise, without such studies, we will not have the ability to efficiently solve the problems of the Fiqh of Media. The detailed account of the exclusive and insightful interview of the faculty member of Al-Mustafa International University with Contemporary Jurisprudence follows: Read more …
