Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslemin Seyed Mohammad Mahdi Rafi’pour Tehrani in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Principle of media jurisprudence/19

Hujjat al-Islam Seyed Mohammad Mahdi Rafi’pour Tehrani has been teaching advanced lessons in media jurisprudence at the Tehran Seminary for several years. Having studied for many years at the Qom Seminary under scholars such as Ayatollahs Tabrizi, Vahid Khorasani, Shubayri Zanjani, and Ha’eri, he returned to the Tehran Seminary. In addition to his seminary education, he pursued university studies up to the doctoral level. On the occasion of his teaching advanced lessons in media jurisprudence, we asked him about the nature of media jurisprudence. According to the author of An Introduction to Media Jurisprudence, due to its nascent nature, media jurisprudence has not yet reached a consensus among jurists regarding its definition and scope of issues. Therefore, we must wait a few years for this emerging jurisprudential discipline to achieve relative stability.

Principle of media jurisprudence/18

Hujjat al-Islam Seyed Hamid Mirkhandan is among the scholars who have completed advanced studies in jurisprudence at the Qom Seminary and earned a doctorate in media jurisprudence from a university. This background makes him one of the most qualified individuals to discuss media jurisprudence and its nature. As a faculty member of the IRIB University, in this exclusive interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence, he explores the essence of media jurisprudence. According to him, although a clear distinction has been made between art and media, such a distinction between art jurisprudence and media jurisprudence has not been established and may not even be feasible.

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Dr. Seyed Hassan Vahdati Shabiri, in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Fiqh:

Judicial Practical Principles/3

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Dr. Seyed Hassan Vahdati Shabiri, in addition to his expertise in fiqh and uṣūl al-fiqh, is well-versed in the field of law, particularly civil law. As a faculty member of the Private Law Department at the University of Qom, he has, for decades, integrated principles, fiqh, and law in his research and teaching in both the seminary and university settings. Regarding practical principles in fiqh and civil law, he believes that there are fundamentally no practical principles exclusive to civil law or civil fiqh. However, there are principles that are more frequently applied and thus more prevalent in fiqh and civil law compared to other practical principles. The president of the Faqāhat School of the Family of the Prophet (PBUH), in this exclusive interview, also discussed the difference between acts of worship and social rulings in terms of the extent to which practical principles are applied.

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Reza Fallah Tafti stated:

Principle of media jurisprudence/15

It could perhaps be said that media is the most significant miracle of the twentieth century onward—a media that, in addition to its vast scope of influence, which likens it to a miracle, has also encountered numerous complexities. This very fact makes the exploration of its jurisprudential issues challenging, and providing effective answers to the questions of media fiqh depends on proper subject identification and a comprehensive understanding of the media’s significant and complex dimensions. Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mohammad Reza Fallah Tafti is one of the scholars who has long been concerned with media and has conducted research on its various aspects. We discussed the challenges of media fiqh with the former head of the Jurisprudential Department of the Islamic Research Center for Media. Drawing on his extensive research and management experience in various areas of media fiqh research, he elaborated on the diverse dimensions of the challenges related to media fiqh.

Ayatollah Mohammad Andalib Hamedani in an exclusive interview with Contemporary Fiqh:

Principle of media jurisprudence/

What does ethical jurisprudence mean? Does it mean ethicizing the knowledge of jurisprudence or jurisprudentializing the knowledge of ethics, or something other than these two? Ayatollah Mohammad Andalib Hamedani believes we must pursue jurisprudentializing the knowledge of ethics; because ethics without jurisprudence lacks executive guarantee; and also this task is much easier than ethicizing the knowledge of jurisprudence. The long-time professor of advanced lessons in jurisprudence and principles at the Qom Seminary, of course, also emphasizes the necessity of raising ethical discussions in the knowledge of jurisprudence.

Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Ahmad Ali Qane Stated in an Exclusive Interview with Contemporary Jurisprudence:

Principle of media jurisprudence/13

The fundamental definition of media, why we should have media, the reasons for the obligation to establish media, who should be in charge of media management, what tasks and imperatives and prohibitions we should have regarding media management, what the perils of media are—slander, lies, and false accusations—these are the types of issues that can be among the main topics of Fiqh of Media. We have sat down for a conversation with Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Qane on this matter.
