Al Muntada Al Islami addresses debt repayment amid inflation
Issa Al Belushi, Director of Al Muntada 's Community Programs Department, emphasized that the roundtable is part of the Al Muntada 's efforts to provide authentic, legitimate solutions to pressing economic issues, formulating solutions in light of the changes imposed by the global economic landscape, most notably the changing purchasing power of money and its impact on financial contracts and the rights of creditors and debtors. Alaa Fathy Barakat reviewed the theoretical framework of the scientific thesis, highlighting contemporary developments in financial transactions and the impact of monetary inflation on futures contracts. He reviewed the most important decisions taken by the Islamic Fiqh Councils in this context, and discussed the potential for developing more just and balanced standards that consider the objectives of Sharia and the modern financial reality. He also highlighted the most prominent problems resulting from monetary inflation, the resulting loss of currency purchasing power, and the impact of this on futures contracts, bonds, and loans. He also reviewed the standards approved by the International Islamic Fiqh Academy, and discussed the extent to which they could be developed or amended to keep pace with new developments. It's worth noting that the roundtable activity is a platform for dialogue, exchange of expertise, and evidence-based discussion of Islamic jurisprudence. It opens the door to collective ijtihad that keeps pace with changes and offers practical solutions consistent with Sharia principles, contributing to safeguarding financial rights and protecting stakeholders from harm. The roundtable will formulate a number of scholarly recommendations that will be published in a special scholarly publication issued by Al Muntada, as part of its series of activities focused on the jurisprudence of financial reality.

Egypt's Mufti Calls for Fatwa Code of Ethics
Mohamed Mandour During his participation in the 26th session of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy currently taking place in Doha, Dr. Nazir Mohammed Ayyad, Egypt's Grand Mufti and President of the General Secretariat for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide, emphasized the importance of regulating fatwa issuance by grounding it in sound Islamic scholarship and aligning it with contemporary realities. He stressed that fatwas should be issued exclusively by qualified scholars and underscored the need to distinguish between personal and public fatwas to safeguard the integrity of religious discourse. Dr. Ayyad called for enhanced coordination among fatwa institutions and proposed the development of a Fatwa Code of Ethics to curb unregulated and arbitrary rulings. He also announced that Egypt's Dar al-Ifta will host its 10th International Conference in Cairo under the theme: 'Shaping the Enlightened Mufti in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.' Reaffirming Dar al-Ifta's commitment to supporting African nations—particularly Burkina Faso—in confronting extremist ideologies, the Mufti expressed readiness to provide training and intellectual development for scholars in the region. He also reiterated Egypt's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, describing Jerusalem as both a matter of faith and a cause of universal justice, and praised the resilience of the Palestinian people. He emphasized the vital role religious institutions play in championing just causes. On the sidelines of the conference, Dr. Ayyad held key meetings with several prominent figures, including Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Humaid, President of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy and Advisor to the Saudi Royal Court; Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Zaid, Deputy Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and Secretary of its Islamic Fiqh Council; Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Hussein, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories; and Dr. Aboubacar Doukouré, Islamic Affairs Advisor to the President of Burkina Faso.
