SUMMARY:How Islamic Law Thinks: How Scholars Derive Rulings and Muslims Live Them
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n6 hours\, all ages\, In person \n\n\n\n\n\nLearn how Islamic law is derived\, why scholars differ\, and how Muslims apply it in everyday life. \n\n\n\n\nIslamic Law in Practice: How Scholars Derive Rulings and Muslims Live Them\nIslamic law is not simply a list of rigid rules. It is a rich intellectual tradition grounded in revelation\, scholarship\, legal theory\, and responsible interpretation. Yet many Muslims today still wonder: Why do scholars disagree? How is Islamic law actually derived? And how should Muslims navigate different opinions with clarity and confidence? \nThis event is designed to answer those questions in a thoughtful\, accessible\, and practical way. \nThe event brings together two complementary voices: \nDr. Ahmed Khater will lay the intellectual foundation. As a specialist in Islamic jurisprudence\, legal theory (usul al-fiqh)\, and theology\, he will explain how Islamic law is developed\, why scholarly disagreement exists\, and how authority functions within the Islamic legal tradition. \nImam Joe Bradford will then explore how these principles are lived in the real world. As a practicing imam and mufti\, he will discuss how Islamic legal rulings are applied pastorally in mosques\, families\, and everyday Muslim life in America. \nTogether\, they will show how sound scholarship and lived wisdom work hand in hand. \nThis program is ideal for: \n\nAdults seeking a clearer understanding of Islamic law\nStudents of Islamic studies and religious education\nEducators and community leaders\nSerious learners who want a balanced approach to scholarly differences\nMuslims looking for clarity on how to engage differing opinions without confusion or division\n\nAttendees will leave with a stronger understanding of: \n\nHow Islamic law is derived\nWhy scholars differ\nHow legal theory shapes rulings\nHow Muslims can approach differing opinions responsibly\nHow Islamic law connects to real life in America today\n\nJoin us for a meaningful conversation on Islamic law\, scholarship\, disagreement\, and Muslim practice.
