The course took place at the Islamic University and was attended by the university’s professors and staff.
The course was presented by Sheikh Fawaz Ahmad Fadel, Deputy President of the Union's Malaysia branch, who discussed the topic "The Disruption Resulting from Ignoring Fiqh Al-Mizan in Analyzing Sharia and Worldly Matters." Sheikh Fawaz highlighted the importance of adopting the approach of Fiqh Al-Mizan to understand and apply Sharia rulings in a way that ensures balance between religious and worldly aspects in the lives of Muslims.
During his presentation of the book, Sheikh Fawaz stated that if governments undertook the dissemination of this new jurisprudence, "Fiqh Al-Mizan," they would succeed in many fields. He explained how Fiqh Al-Mizan aids in deeply and balancedly analyzing Sharia matters, contributing to providing realistic Sharia solutions that align with modern-day requirements. He also emphasized the necessity for scholars and specialists to adopt this approach to achieve harmony between Sharia and daily life and to avoid problems arising from a misunderstanding of jurisprudential rules.
This course is part of the Islamic University’s efforts to promote a correct and moderate understanding of Islam and encourage ongoing research and study in contemporary jurisprudential issues. The courses aim to build the capacities of the university’s professors and staff in the field of Islamic jurisprudence, thereby enhancing the level of Sharia education and religious awareness in the community.
The course was well-received by participants who praised Sheikh Fawaz Ahmad Fadel’s comprehensive and distinctive presentation and expressed their interest in following the upcoming series of courses that will continue until the end of this year.
