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.

Jurisprudential Aspects of Public Participation in the Economy/4

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Seyed Mohammad Hossein Motavali Emami has long been engaged in educational and research activities to provide theoretical support for the Islamic government and founded the Institute for Strategic Research on Islamic Civilization (META) for this purpose.
🔹For several years, he has been researching Islamic economics and has seriously introduced the concept of “gold-backed money” into the discourse of economic scholarship in the country. We discussed with him the nature and dimensions of people-oriented economics.
🏷He views people-oriented economics, as articulated by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in our country, as distinct from privatization or the free market in Western economics. He considers the primary solution for achieving a people-oriented economy to be transitioning from fiat money to gold-backed money.

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, Mohammad Javad Ostadi, Head of the Department of Cyberspace, Art, and Media at the Khorasan Branch of the Islamic Propagation Office, stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/18

🔹Artificial intelligence has entered human life so rapidly that its various dimensions and impacts on human existence have yet to be fully explored. This has led to entirely contradictory opinions regarding its functions and effects.
🏷In the context of cyberspace governance, the question arises whether the use of artificial intelligence can make governance easier and more efficient or whether it poses challenges. Mohammad Javad Ostadi, a researcher in cultural studies, believes that artificial intelligence is undoubtedly beneficial for cyberspace governance and accelerates its processes.

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Qadirali Shams stated:

Principles of the Jurisprudence of Education/4

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Qadirali Shams, born in 1965 in Isfahan and a graduate of the Qom Islamic Seminary, began teaching advanced lessons (Dars-e Kharij) on the Jurisprudence of Ethics in 2016, the results of which were published in three volumes titled Fiqh al-Akhlaq. Subsequently, he turned his attention to the Jurisprudence of Education and began discussing its topics in his advanced lessons.
🔹His simultaneous teaching of the Jurisprudence of Education and the Jurisprudence of Ethics makes him one of the most qualified individuals to discuss the Jurisprudence of Education and its differences from related fields such as the Jurisprudence of Ethics. He considers the relationship between the Jurisprudence of Ethics and the Jurisprudence of Education to be one of general and specific correlation from a certain perspective (‘umum wa khusus min wajh). The recipient of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Book of the Year Award also mentions Fiqh Akbar (Greater Jurisprudence) in this context, explaining its meaning and its relationship to conventional jurisprudence.

In an exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Saeed Sarrafzadeh stated:

Jurisprudence of Governance in Cyberspace/17

The advent of artificial intelligence into human life has brought about profound changes in various domains. One of the areas most closely connected to artificial intelligence is cyberspace. Can artificial intelligence single-handedly take over the governance of cyberspace and remove it from human control? Does the introduction of artificial intelligence into cyberspace, alongside the advantages and conveniences it brings, also cause harm?
🔹In this regard, we spoke with Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Saeed Sarrafzadeh, a member of the Policy Council of the Steering Committee for Intelligent Technologies at Islamic Seminaries. He believes that as long as the conventions and the production of AI algorithms remain in human hands, the ruler of cyberspace is humans, not artificial intelligence. However, he also acknowledges that the entry of artificial intelligence into cyberspace brings challenges and risks.

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.
The full text of Contemporary Jurisprudence’s exclusive interview with him on the nature, dimensions, and challenges of the jurisprudence of cyberspace governance follows:🔻

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.
