Contemporary Jurisprudence

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, a faculty member of the Faculty of Media at the University of Religions and Denominations, stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/16

Cyberspace emerged so rapidly and dynamically that there was little time for reflection and discussion to explore proper governance methods. No matter how much dialogue and discussion take place regarding cyberspace governance, new issues and dimensions arise, challenging previous discussions. This makes cyberspace governance a precise, challenging, and time-sensitive matter requiring swift decision-making.
🔹Dr. Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Majid Mobini Moghaddas is considered a media expert both in his official capacity and as an individual. He is a faculty member of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Communications, and Media at the University of Religions and his “Roshana” channel on Eitaa has long been one of the few media outlets discussing methodological issues related to Islamic sciences.
🏷He identifies one of the main challenges in cyberspace governance as the drafting of laws in this domain based on a minimalist jurisprudential approach, where merely avoiding conflict with Sharia is deemed sufficient for a law’s legitimacy, without striving to align with the approval of the Sharia.

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, Dr. Seyed Sadeq Haqiqat stated:

Analysis of Contemporary Jurisprudence Based on a Minimalist Approach to Fiqh/4

The Theory of Hemrooy is a theory proposed by Dr. Seyed Sadeq Haqiqat for reconciling political jurisprudence and political thought. This theory, which was initially proposed only for reconciling these two disciplines in political science, was later expanded and suggested for reconciling tradition and modernity, as well as other topics.
🔹But one must ask: What is the relationship between this theory and the minimalist and maximalist approaches to religion? Does the Theory of Hemrooy lean toward one of these two approaches, or does it stand in the middle here as well?
🏷The proponent of this theory regards Hemrooy as having a clear boundary with minimalist jurisprudence and maximalist jurisprudence. In his view, this theory even differs from some theories that have been proposed in the middle between minimalist jurisprudence and maximalist jurisprudence.

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Reza Mahmoudi stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/15

Although the concept of cyberspace is clear to many and its jurisprudential issues have been the subject of scholarly discussion for years, does this imply the existence of a distinct jurisprudential chapter called “Jurisprudence of Cyberspace”? In other words, does the Jurisprudence of Cyberspace encompass enough issues to constitute a standalone jurisprudential chapter? Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Reza Mahmoudi, a faculty member at the Qom Mahallati College and a researcher in the jurisprudence of media and cyberspace, raises a more fundamental issue. He considers the term “cyberspace” itself to be incorrect and, consequently, rejects anything derived from it, such as the “Jurisprudence of Cyberspace.” However, beyond the issue of terminology, he addresses various topics under the umbrella of the Jurisprudence of Cyberspace, which, in his view, does not constitute an independent jurisprudential chapter.

🔹 We spoke with the president of the Eshraq Creative and Innovation House about the dimensions of legislation regarding cyberspace.

Faculty Member of the Women and Family Research Institute, in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Fiqh:

Examination of the Jurisprudential Dimensions of Spousal Violence/4

Violence against wives has long been a topic in the discourse of women’s jurisprudence and law, with concepts such as spousal rape and the categorization of various forms of violence against women emerging from this dialogue. However, another form of violence, termed violence against husbands, is also conceivable, though it has received less attention in jurisprudential and legal literature. We discussed this issue with Dr. Nahid Salimi, a faculty member of the Women and Family Research Institute. This author and women’s studies scholar believes that violence against husbands has been examined in our jurisprudential literature, but the term itself was coined by societies that permit homosexuality and sexual relationships between men.

A Review of Published Books on Cyberspace Governance

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/13

Note: Cyberspace governance has been a significant challenge for many countries in recent decades. The importance of this issue has led to the publication of numerous books on the subject.

The Director of the Research Department of Jurisprudence and Law, in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

The Right to Human Dignity and Equality from the Perspective of Jurisprudence/4

The issue of dignity and the term “right to dignity” have found their place in jurisprudential discussions in recent decades. The authorship of the book The Principle of Human Dignity as a Jurisprudential Rule was a significant step in theorizing this principle jurisprudentially. Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Seyfollah Sarami is among the opponents of the right to dignity. He believes that the term “right to dignity” is fundamentally incorrect, and on the other hand, no divine ruling can be in conflict with the right to dignity. This professor of advanced lessons in jurisprudence and principles at the Qom Seminary, however, considers the conflict of the absolute affirmative application of some rulings with dignity to be unproblematic.
The full text of the candid and exclusive interview of Contemporary Jurisprudence with the Director of the Institute of Jurisprudence and Law at the Research Institute of Islamic Sciences and Culture, on the topic of jurisprudential rulings conflicting with the right to dignity, is as follows: 🔻

Dr. Sadeq Qadimi, in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/12

Policymaking for cyberspace is one of the significant challenges facing our country, as well as many other countries worldwide. Given Iran’s Islamic identity and reliance on the science of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), it is necessary to structure policymaking in a way that aligns or is compatible with jurisprudential rulings. We discussed this topic with Dr. Sadegh Qadimi, who holds a PhD in Fiqh and the Foundations of Islamic Law and is a professor at the Women’s Seminary, with a keen interest in policymaking and cyberspace. His familiarity with both fiqh and the various dimensions of cyberspace policymaking has resulted in an engaging and insightful conversation.

Ali Mohammad Hakimian

Judicial Practical Principles/5

Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Dr. Ali Mohammad Hakimian, born in 1960 in Yazd, is a graduate of advanced fiqh and usul (principles of jurisprudence) courses from the Qom Seminary and holds a PhD in private law. Years of teaching various legal disciplines alongside seminary courses have made him one of the most knowledgeable individuals regarding the application of practical principles such as istishab in judicial fiqh. The former head of the Research Institute of Hawza and University believes that many jurists are unaware of the differing functions of fiqh and law, which has led them to err. He also argues that istishab, as a practical principle that does not reveal reality, has no effective role in judicial fiqh. Below is the full text of an exclusive oral commentary by this faculty member of the Research Institute of Hawza and University for contemporary fiqh: 🔻
