Assistant Lecturer in the Financial Division at the College of Education for Women, Sabreen Ali Mohammed, published a scientific research article in the journal “Evolutionary Studies in Imaginative Culture”, which is indexed in Scopus Q1, titled “Recent Discoveries and Their Impact on Jurists”.
The aim of this research was to raise societal awareness by disseminating knowledge on contemporary jurisprudential issues, offering a deeper understanding of matters that concern Muslims in their daily lives, and emphasizing the role of Islamic jurisprudence in modern life. The research asserts that Islamic jurisprudence is not merely a collection of historical texts but a dynamic science that engages with current realities and provides solutions to contemporary challenges.
This study addresses a highly significant issue: the impact of recent scientific discoveries on jurists, and the connection between these discoveries and the science of Maqasid al-Shari’ah (Objectives of Islamic Law). The paper examines the implications of recent discoveries on legal rulings, including topics such as artificial insemination, egg donation, embryo freezing, and the use of astronomical calculations for determining the times and beginning of lunar months. These applications represent a serious inquiry into the questions surrounding these issues in the contemporary context.
