The 26th Council of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy (IIFA), a subsidiary of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), kicked off Sunday in Doha.
He called on the participating scholars and elites to exchange views on the most pressing issues and developments to formulate a vision that is accepted by the Muslim nation.
He counted the destruction of the family structure, the negative impact on the young, the degradation of virtues, the disregard for values and morals, and the promotion of atheism, homosexuality, perversion, among others.
The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, said the current international events, primarily the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories, including Al-Quds Al-Sharif, calls for greater solidarity with the victims of these attacks.
He praised IIFA's efforts to expose Israeli occupation crimes and strengthen international solidarity with the Palestinian people.
IIFA President Dr. Saleh bin Abdullah bin Humaid, said that the conference aims to consider and discuss a range of contemporary issues and developments that require collective Ijtihad that fosters integration among scholars and experts, bridges the gap between ideals and reality, and produces well-founded, precise, and applicable resolutions and recommendations.
He said that the conference will discuss artificial intelligence, one of the most prominent tools of the modern digital transformation, will be addressed, including AI-related rulings and regulations as well as weighing in on its benefits, harms, and consequences.
The Secretary General of the IIFA, Dr. Koutoub Moustapha Sano noted that Doha is once again hosting yet another of the Academy's conferences, also at a critical turning point, no less dangerous than the previous one with intellectual challenges, social changes, technological and digital developments and also political instability across the globe.
He added that perhaps the most painful of all developments is the situation in Palestine, and in Gaza in particular, occurring amid shameful international silence that defies the very ideals of human rights, past and present.
The Secretary General of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy said that in these dire circumstances, the International Islamic Fiqh Academy continues its diligent efforts to wisely and prudently address contemporary challenges and emerging issues through collective Ijtihad.
The five-day event will debate contemporary jurisprudential, economic, and medical issues of concern to Muslim countries and communities.
The Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, Hujjat-ul-Islam Hamid Shahriari and member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, Hujjat-ul-Islam Ahmad Moballeghi, represent the Islamic Republic in this meeting.
