Different Types of Fiqh and a New Perspective

Dr. Jasser Auda, Shariah Editor
14 October, 2018

Are the Objectives of the Shariah identical with those of Fiqh?

What were the reasons for developing the Fiqh of minorities? Is it still relevant?

And what is the meaning of Fiqh of Citizenshhip? Is it really what we need in Muslim countries, or perhaps, some other approaches are necessary.

Join Dr. Jasser Auda in this eye-opening speech.
