The Journal of Islamic Law Research (ILRJ) is a peer-reviewed, international quarterly dedicated to examining classical Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) and its principles (Usul al-Fiqh), as well as the contemporary, statutory, and technical legal systems of the Islamic world. Across this jurisprudential continuum, the journal critically engages with both the normative hermeneutics of classical jurisprudence and the operational realities of positive law, statutory codification, and technical regulatory governance across contemporary jurisdictions. Bridging theoretical foundations with practical application, the journal explores legal developments from their historical roots to modern manifestations through doctrinal, comparative, and socio-legal lenses. The journal welcomes original research articles, review articles, and brief communications from scholars, jurists, and legal practitioners worldwide. While anchored in classical jurisprudence (Fiqh) and its methodological foundations (Usul al-Fiqh), the scope of the Journal of Islamic Law Research extends beyond traditional doctrine to encompass modern statutory systems, technical regulatory frameworks, and substantive fields of positive law across the Islamic world and related jurisdictions, including: Classical Jurisprudence, Methodology, and Legal Theory In-depth studies on Classical Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh), its principles (Usul al-Fiqh), and the comparative doctrines of various Islamic legal schools (Madhahib). Islamic legal history and the philosophy of Islamic law. Interdisciplinary intersections between Islamic legal studies and various branches of the humanities. Codification, Governance, and Statutory Systems The transformation of Islamic law from jurists’ law to statutory law, including the challenges of modern Islamic legislation and state codification. Islamic constitutionalism and the intersection of Islam with the concept and application of the rule of law. Legal developments in the Muslim world, including institutional governance and public law frameworks. Substantive Branches of Contemporary Law The interaction of Islamic law with core legal disciplines, including Private Law, Criminal Law, and Public Law. Public International Law, Private International Law, and Conflict of Laws within contemporary Islamic jurisdictions. The integration of Islamic legal principles with technical, commercial, and modern regulatory frameworks. Legal Pluralism and Global Application The application and accommodation of Islamic law in Muslim-majority countries, Muslim-minority contexts, and secular states. The legal status, constitutional rights, and recognition of religious minorities and non-Muslim communities within Islamic legal frameworks. Comparative Law and Transnational Interactions Comparative studies between Islamic legal systems and other major global legal traditions. The theoretical and practical dynamics of legal transplantation to and from the Muslim world. Mutual normative influence, historical cross-pollination, and the impact of Western and Islamic legal thought upon each other.
