Contemporary Jurisprudence

A Look at the Book “Educational Jurisprudence” Authored by Ayatollah A’rafi;

Principles of the Jurisprudence of Education/7

The book: Educational Jurisprudence is the result of hours of teaching by Professor A’rafi, which in past years in the seminary in his advanced jurisprudence lesson he has addressed this category. What is education? Is human educable or religiously educable? What are educational criteria? Can jurisprudential criteria be effective in human education?
🔹Such questions and the author’s answers to these questions can be found in this book. Below is a brief report of the book’s content:🔻

Dr. Majid Kiani-Nejad, Political Expert at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Jurisprudence of International Relations: Nature, Dimensions, and Challenges/6

International relations and international law alongside international politics are knowledges or study arenas; but alongside these, an international approach to jurisprudential issues is also raisable; an approach that not as a jurisprudential chapter, but as an insight, helps understanding and solving all issues of jurisprudential chapters.
Dr. Majid Kiani-Nejad believes this approach is not created by a knowledge like jurisprudential knowledge, but to understand it, it is necessary to seek help from greater jurisprudence.
The detailed exclusive interview of Contemporary Jurisprudence with this international relations researcher is as follows:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/34

Cyberspace still seemed a newly emerged and novel topic when artificial intelligence arrived and changed all calculations and methods of governance.
🔹It is clear that governing a space that always had to be manually and individually explored is very different from governing a space that with one “prompt,” not only provides comprehensive information from all virtual pages but also their analysis.
🏷Governance of cyberspace is a concept broader than legislation and setting punishments for illegal behaviors. Governance includes both legislation and policy-making as well as implementation and supervision of laws. Governance even includes methods that guide the user toward acting according to a policy and approach without a law being enacted or a punishment considered for violating it.

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Taqi Sohrabifar, in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Analysis of Contemporary Jurisprudence Based on a Minimalist Approach to Fiqh/6

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Taghi Sohrabifar is counted among the young advanced jurisprudence and principles professors of the Qom Seminary who also enters emerging jurisprudential issues. Although he does not like the expression of minimal and maximal jurisprudence, with the expression of “necessity of sufficing with certainties in jurisprudence,” he makes evident his advocacy of the minimal approach to jurisprudence.
🏷We spoke with him about the necessities of contemporary jurisprudence based on the minimal approach to jurisprudence. He believes that moving beyond certainties means attributing conjectural and probable rulings to God Almighty, which leads to wasting religion and people’s rights.

The advanced jurisprudence professor of media stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/33

Cyberspace creates a world before us that is not merely conventional, but a world that intends to inject and dictate to us an environment constructed from invisible information (information that can take various forms); therefore, we must have a correct image of cyberspace and its components, which are based on web technology, and know where choosing this term and word leads.
🔹Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Ali Nahavandi has been teaching and researching media jurisprudence and cyberspace for more than two decades. In this conversation, he expresses the necessities of cyberspace jurisprudence and its position among jurisprudential chapters.

Dr. Sadiq Qadimi, in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Jurisprudential Research on Stem Cells/6

Stem cells are among the technologies that, in addition to complexity, have also brought about fantasies for humanity. When a tissue in the body is repaired, why cannot one speak of rejuvenating the entire body? When a new cell can be created, why should the human desire for immortality be an unattainable matter?
Dr. Sadiq Qadimi, who has obtained a doctorate in jurisprudence and law and has been researching in the field of medical jurisprudence for years, believes that despite the rapid and astonishing advancements in stem cells, speaking of immortality and permanent youth for humanity is currently in the realm of imagination.
This professor of the sisters’ seminary, of course, reminds that knowledge of this kind is usually developed secretly, and their advancements are not made public. We spoke with him about the applications of stem cells in human life today, the details of which are presented below:

Principles of the Jurisprudence of Education/6

“Jurisprudential Ethics” is the title of a discipline whose very existence—or lack thereof—and the suitability of such a title for this discipline (assuming it exists) remain disputed. Is this discipline a grand falsehood or a new truth?
Some interpret the word “jurisprudence” in its technical sense, but this is not the intended meaning in such a title. This group objects that disrupting terminology will lead to misunderstandings and is therefore incorrect.
Some have authored books like Jurisprudential Education, examining the jurisprudential rulings on certain educational acts. In our view, this effort does not constitute a new discipline but rather an adaptation to fresh and overlooked issues within an old science. Others have discussed ethical topics, such as obsession, in practical treatises and stated their religious rulings. We do not deny the benefits of these efforts, but our discussion is of a different nature; therefore, we must explain the title “Jurisprudential Ethics.”

Hujjat al-Islam Dr. Ali Shafiei, in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Examination of the Jurisprudential Dimensions of Spousal Violence/6

Advocates for women’s rights, sometimes referred to as feminists, constantly complain about the various forms of violence that, in their view, men inflict on women. Although this opinion has many opponents who do not consider many male behaviors as violence at all, the question is why the conflict is essentially about violence by the husband against the wife, and no one speaks of violence by the wife against the husband. Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Dr. Ali Shafiei, who is counted among intellectuals, believes that violence by women against men also exists, but for various reasons enumerated in this interview, it has not been much discussed. In this exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, he explored the various dimensions of violence against the husband and the reasons for its absence in the scholarly discourse of jurisprudential knowledge.

In the Seminar “Jurisprudential-Legal Analysis of Access to Foreign Platforms via Domestic Interfaces,” It Was Stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/31

The scientific seminar “Jurisprudential-Legal Analysis of Access to Foreign Platforms via Domestic Interfaces” was held on 30 April 2024, with presentations by Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Reza Mahmoudi and Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Ali Nahavandi, and scientific moderation by Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Movahhed at the Jurisprudential Center of the Imams of Athar (peace be upon them) in Qom.
In this seminar, which focused on the 96th session resolution of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, various jurisprudential-legal aspects of this resolution were examined and elucidated.
The head of the Jurisprudence of Communication, Art, and Media Group at the Jurisprudential Center of the Imams of Athar (peace be upon them) commented on Clause 4 of the 96th Resolution of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace: In this resolution, appropriate issue identification has not been conducted, and this flaw overshadows the entire resolution.
Reasons for the weakness in issue identification include “the weak connection of the mentioned issues with issues in the domains of culture, lifestyle, business, and trade” and “lack of attention to processes, particularly the natural restriction process of domestic platforms.”
