Dr. Syed Muhammad Haroon Shah Bukhari — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most significant scientific and technological developments of the modern era, profoundly influencing almost every aspect of human life. While AI offers unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, convenience, and innovation, it simultaneously raises complex ethical, social, and jurisprudential questions. This study critically examines AI through the lens of Islamic ethics and jurisprudence. Key issues discussed include human free will and accountability, the distinction between halal and haram, privacy concerns, employment challenges, military applications, and AI’s role in judicial and economic systems. The research aims to demonstrate how Islamic law can provide a moral framework that ensures the beneficial use of AI for humanity. Drawing upon the Qur’an, Sunnah, classical juristic maxims (such as la darar wa la dirar and al-darurat tubih al-mahzurat), and insights from contemporary Muslim scholars, the paper proposes an integrated framework for engaging with AI. The conclusion reached is that AI, in itself, is permissible (mubah), but its usage must conform to the objectives of Shariah (maqasid al-shari‘ah) and ethical boundaries.

الذكاء الاصطناعي في خدمة علم الحديث: المجالات والتحديات والمخاطر

Muhammad Asad, Fathuddin Bayanouni — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The science of Hadith is one of the most prominent branches of Islamic jurisprudence, representing the primary means of understanding the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which is the second source of Islamic law after the Holy Quran. Scholars have exerted tremendous efforts in collecting, documenting, verifying, and classifying Hadiths from the earliest times to the present day. With the significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), the possibility of employing this modern technology in the service of Hadith studies has emerged. Several questions arise regarding this technology: Can AI replace human intellect in verifying Hadiths? What are the limits of its use? Are there any potential legal or academic risks associated with its application in this field? This research aims to explore the areas of AI application in the service of Hadith studies, review its applications in this field, and highlight the most significant challenges and risks it faces. Among the findings of this research is the potential for utilizing AI techniques in five key areas: Hadith verification, evaluation of Hadiths, study of the chain of transmission (isnad), explanation of the text (matn) of Hadiths, and thematic studies of Hadiths. The use of these technologies faces several challenges, including reliance on input data, a lack of accurate data, a lack of contextual awareness, and weak critical thinking. It is also fraught with risks, most notably the issuance of hadith rulings by unqualified individuals and the blurring of lines between technical and legal standards. Artificial intelligence can be a powerful tool in the field of hadith studies, provided there is specialized scholarly oversight that adheres to the rigorous methodological principles of this noble discipline.

Seashells have been in human usage and valued for their aesthetic appeal in medicine, jewelry, decoration, and have been symbolic as well in expression across various cultures and their status in Islamic law remains subject of debate at scholarly interpretation of high rank. The research at hand is the study to explore the permissibility of sea ornament in general and depicts the cultural significance of the use of seashells as ornaments within the framework of Hanafi jurisprudence. Hanafi jurists classify materials derived from the sea by assessing their purity and lawful use. Since seashells are not taken non-edible, and are not considered prohibited in connection with the consumption of marine life. This research is an investigation limited in their ornamental usage along with principles of permissibility as emphasized in the Hanafi school of Islamic Jurisprudence. The study is inferred in the fact that the marine production, when used in moderation and within cultural norms consistent with Islamic values, are permitted as ornaments in Hanafi jurisprudence, and the contemporary cultural practices are tried to put in harmony with it. This research is a valuable contribution for a broader discussion on materialistic culture and Islamic esthetic values. Keeping the research under the shadow of the thoughts emerged from al-Hidāyah, al-Mabsūṭ, and al-Fatāwā al-Hindiyyah alongside contemporary juristic opinions, the methodology of qualitative research is employed.
