The General Secretariat for Fatwa authorities Worldwide has issued a peer reviewed scholarly journal in several languages. The journal takes into consideration the juristic founding of scientific facts related to unprecedented issues and fatwa criteria and applies them to our practical reality. It thereby allows specialists in fatwa and juristic studies to publish their work in the journal to disseminate true Islam and remove confusion over thorny and controversial issues.
The first issue of the journal “Group Ijtihad within the Context of Unprecedented Issues and its Impact on the Building of a Stable Society” covered several research topics. These include: “The Impact of Group Ijtihad within the Context of Unprecedented Issues and Its Role in Creating Balance and Social Stability”; “Group Ijtihad and Its Authoritativeness”; “Group Ijtihad and Its Role in the Jurisprudence of Minorities”; “Criteria of Group Ijtihad within the Context of Unprecedented Issues and Related Problems”; “Group Ijtihad — Concept, Forms, and Scope of Operation”; “Contemporary Applications of Group Ijtihad within the Context of Unprecedented Issues”.
The General Secretariat for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide also published its first book “Islam and Issues of Contemporary Times” in Arabic, English, German, French, and Spanish. The book discusses twenty issues of concern in today’s world.
