The “Method on Sundays” session, originally scheduled for September 14, was postponed to September 18 due to unforeseen reasons. In this session, the significance of religious governance as a key factor in institutionalizing Islamic knowledge within the public culture of society was examined.
Through in-depth and expert discussions, the session highlighted the importance of people-centered, sound, and Islamic-principled governance in the process of institutionalizing religious knowledge in public culture and emphasized the need to redefine the role of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) in addressing society’s strategic issues to tackle complex social challenges.

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.
