Contemporary Jurisprudence

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

Principle of media jurisprudence/11

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/10

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:
