Sayyedeh Maryam Borqei:

Examination of the Jurisprudential Dimensions of Spousal Violence/5

While extensive jurisprudential discussions and analyses regarding male circumcision have been conducted and its dimensions explored in jurisprudential texts, female circumcision has rarely been addressed with serious jurisprudential scrutiny. Perhaps the modesty and decorum expected of girls have also influenced discussions of this jurisprudential ruling.
🔹 This has resulted in diverse opinions within the Islamic world regarding female circumcision; in some Islamic countries, this practice is prohibited, while in others, it continues to be observed as a commendable tradition.
🏷 Dr. Sayyedeh Maryam Borqei, head of the Research Institute of Jurisprudence and Legal Foundations at the Islamic Studies Research Institute of Jami‘at al-Zahra, examines the jurisprudential dimensions of female circumcision and the relevant narrations in this exclusive article.

Dr. Mohadeseh Moeinifar, in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/22

It could perhaps be said that “virtual space” falls into the category of being deceptively simple yet complex; at first glance, it appears clear and obvious, but upon reflection, it becomes evident that it has many ambiguous dimensions. Regarding the precise meaning of “jurisprudence of virtual space,” Dr. Mohadeseh Moeinifar believes that the meaning of “jurisprudence of virtual space” is entirely distinct from “jurisprudence of cyberspace.” A faculty member at Imam Khomeini International University in Qazvin, who has conducted numerous studies and research on the jurisprudential and legal dimensions of virtual space, in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, elaborated on the foundations, presuppositions, jurisprudential rules, and differences between the jurisprudence of virtual space and similar fields Rosary of Imam Khomeini International University in Qazvin.

Dr. Abedin Momeni in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/21

Legislating for cyberspace may be challenging, but implementing these laws is, if not more difficult, certainly not easier. The enforcement of laws related to cyberspace requires not only the necessary technical expertise but also consideration of the social and cultural dimensions of the law. At times, practical considerations in implementing a law may influence the law itself, leading to its revision.
🔹We discussed the various dimensions of enforcing laws in cyberspace with Dr. Abedin Momeni, a faculty member at the University of Tehran. The professor in the Department of Jurisprudence and Legal Foundations at the University of Tehran believes that no exceptions should be made in the enforcement of laws, and violating laws is illegitimate for everyone, including officials.
🔍He cited the presence of officials on filtered platforms as an example, which he considers incorrect.

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, Dr. Mohammad Hossein Zarifian stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/20

Implementing laws, if not more challenging and precise than enacting them, is certainly no less so. When addressing a critical, widespread, and sensitive issue like cyberspace, these challenges and sensitivities intensify.
🔹Does the implementation of laws in cyberspace require specific considerations? Has jurisprudential knowledge provided specific insights regarding the method of law implementation? Dr. Mohammad Hossein Zarifian’s response to both questions is affirmative.
🏷Having studied in Islamic seminaries and earned a Ph.D. in Media Management, with a background as the head of the Center for Islamic Media Research, he considers certain jurisprudential and legal principles, such as those related to resolving conflicts of duties, applicable to the implementation of laws.

A Look at the Destruction of Natural Resources Worldwide:

Governance in the Preservation and Protection of Natural Resources from the Perspective of Imami Jurisprudence/4

In recent decades, the destruction of natural resources has become one of the greatest global crises, with negative impacts not only on the environment but also on human societies and the economies of various countries. Natural resources, including forests, water, soil, minerals, and biodiversity, form the foundation of human life and natural ecosystems. However, these resources are rapidly diminishing and being destroyed due to mismanagement, unsustainable industrial activities, excessive agriculture, mining, and climate change.
🔹This global phenomenon has not only led to the destruction of natural habitats and a decline in biodiversity but has also caused numerous environmental and social crises, such as droughts, floods, desertification, and severe air and water pollution. The main causes of this destruction include the expansion of agricultural and industrial activities, overexploitation of resources, lack of effective environmental policies, and climate change.
🏷This report examines the trends of natural resource destruction across different continents and countries, analyzing its environmental, social, and economic impacts.

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, Dr. Ramazanali Bazrafshan, a faculty member of the Scientific Association of Media and Propagation at Islamic Seminaries, stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/19

It can be said that those involved in legislative or policymaking institutions often complain about the lack of attention to policies and laws by executive officials. This grievance also applies to cyberspace, where lawmakers and policymakers attribute the failure of proper cyberspace governance to the executors of laws and policies.
But how should the implementation of laws and policies in cyberspace be monitored? Dr. Ramazanali Bazrafshan, a faculty member of the Scientific Association of Media and Propagation at Islamic Seminaries, considers one of the most important approaches to be the emphasis on enacting laws and policies that use quantitative and non-qualitative terms, which makes oversight of their implementation more precise and easier.
