In a speech delivered on behalf of the Kingdom鈥檚 Grand Mufti, the Secretary-General of the Council of Senior Scholars Sheikh Fahad bin Saad Al-Majid expressed hope that the forum would examine the curricula for teaching jurisprudence in universities across the Islamic world, and their strength and impact in producing jurists capable of research, deliberation, and the study of emerging issues and problems.
Meanwhile, Al-Issa said that Islamic jurisprudence has been and remains the legal reference for knowledge of practical rulings derived from detailed evidence, enlightening Muslims about their religion in accordance with the guidance of Islamic law.
