OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The presentation aims to discuss the methodology of collective reasoning (ijtihad) activity in the face of contemporary jurisprudential issues in the Islamic world. It will first provide theoretical information on collective ijtihad, and contemporary fiqh problems, before moving on to examine the decisions of ‘The International Islamic Fiqh Academy’ (IIFA), which is considered the most influential institution of collective ijtihad in the Islamic world.
