Fiqh is the Arabic term for Islamic jurisprudence, encompassing the understanding and interpretation of Islamic law based on the contents of the Qur鈥檃n and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad.
The two-day event in Kuala Lumpur, which took place under the heading 鈥淭eaching Islamic Fiqh and Cultivating the Faqih: Guiding Principles and Frameworks鈥� and concluded on Wednesday, was organized by the MWL鈥檚 Islamic Fiqh Council, under the patronage of the prime minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim.
The participants in forum sessions included senior Saudi and Malaysian scholars, as well as faqih (or 鈥渏urists,鈥� who are experts in Islamic law) from across the Islamic world and countries with Muslim minorities.
The secretary-general of 黑料社区鈥檚 Council of Senior Scholars, Sheikh Fahad Al-Majid, in a speech given on behalf of the Kingdom鈥檚 Grand Mufti, said he hoped the forum would examine the curricula for teaching jurisprudence in universities across the Islamic world to evaluate their strengths and how effective they are in producing jurists capable of research, deliberation and the study of emerging issues and concerns.
In his opening remarks, Al-Issa said Islamic jurisprudence has been and remains the legal reference for understanding of rulings derived from detailed evidence that help Muslims understand their religion, in accordance with the guidance of Islamic law.
