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.
