Islamic University of Madinah forum examines AI in Islamic jurisprudence.

The Islamic University of Madinah’s Faculty of Sharia held its third student forum, “Artificial Intelligence: Contemporary Issues and Sharia Rulings,” on Nov. 10, as part of the university’s second Graduate Studies Week, themed “From Empowerment to Impact.” The university said the forum aimed to strengthen students’ ability to assess emerging AI cases through fiqh and apply fiqh and usul principles when developing appropriate Sharia rulings for modern technologies. Five student papers covered fiqh, usul al-fiqh and judicial studies, including AI’s effects on contracts and liability, regulating its uses, questions involving fatwas, and the Saudi judiciary. The university presented these as subjects for academic study, not as a ruling on AI.
