Next August, the General Secretariat of Fatwa Councils and Fatwa Bodies in the World will hold its 11th conference entitled “Family Challenges in Light of Major Transformations – A Fatwa Approach to Protecting the Family, Anticipating its Future, and Preserving Identity.” The conference aims to lay the foundations for a systematic and conscious treatment of the rapid transformations that the contemporary world is witnessing due to the digital revolution and applications of artificial intelligence, combining accurate scientific diagnosis, disciplined fatwa contribution, and rational future outlook, which contributes to enhancing the ability of religious and fatwa institutions to keep pace with the developments of the times, and provide responsible and balanced answers that preserve the stability of the family and support the purposes of Sharia law in preserving birth and honor and building a cohesive society. In light of this, the objectives of the conference are defined in three integrated strategic axes that seek to encompass these problems from their various aspects, and provide applicable scientific solutions, as follows: Conference Axes The conference axes came as follows: Fifth: Conference Axes The seven conference axes came within an organizational framework that allocates to each axis a specific research problem, in a way that achieves clarity of boundaries between the axes and prevents duplication, while combining legal rooting and applied treatment of contemporary reality issues. As follows: The first axis: Establishing the objectives of the family and building a contemporary legal reference. This axis is concerned with presenting the established legal and objective framework for the family system, by rooting the major concepts, adjusting the approach of diligence in family issues, and building a scientific reference capable of confronting contemporary problems without being drawn into a defensive or deconstructive proposition, by employing the jurisprudential heritage to produce scientific arguments that refute contemporary claims. Sub-topics: * Family jurisprudence between the fixed and the variable: standards of Maqasid diligence in emerging family issues * Jurisprudence of divorce between Sharia control and contemporary lawlessness… towards a Maqasid vision to reduce divorce rates * Employing the objectives of Sharia in addressing family calamities * The Islamic model of the family: origins and conceptual foundations * Redefining the family in international conventions: challenges and mechanisms of the fatwa position The second axis: Digital and technological transformations and their impact on the family (an applied axis) This axis deals with The direct effects of modern technology and artificial intelligence on the family, with a focus on applied issues and emerging jurisprudential problems.

This axis is concerned with analyzing the global intellectual currents and value discourses that affect the concept of the family, while providing a disciplined critical fatwa treatment. The axis also seeks to present a systematic fatwa approach based on scientific analysis and disciplined intellectual criticism, which contributes to addressing these challenges, without slipping into patterns of confrontational arguments, while maintaining the ability to interact positively with contemporary contexts. Sub-topics: * Redefining the family in international conventions: a critical reading * The concept of the family in international human rights agendas * Fatwa treatment of transformations related to sexual identity * Non-traditional sexual practices and their impact on the family structure…An analytical study in light of Sharia objectives. * Atheism in the digital environment and its impact on family cohesion * Religious extremism and its impact on the image of the Muslim family… a corrective fatwa approach * The role of the fatwa in international advocacy for family values * Modern individualism and transformations in the concept of the family (a comprehensive study) * Objectification of family relations in light of the globalization of values… A reading of the repercussions and treatment mechanisms * Modern individualism and the rejection of the institutional framework of the family (cohabitation as a model)… an analytical jurisprudential study * Existential despair Within the contemporary family… diagnosing the phenomenon and the horizon of fatwa treatment. The fourth axis: The role of the institutional fatwa in dealing with family crises and public policies. This axis addresses the institutional role of the fatwa in dealing with family crises, through analyzing the intervention mechanisms of fatwa institutions, and evaluating the effectiveness of their applied models. It also focuses on ways to develop this role in a way that enhances the transition of the fatwa from an individual, eventual framework to an institutional level that contributes to supporting social policies and activates its role within the family governance system.

This has contributed to creating a state of “moral fluidity” characterized by a multiplicity of references, a decline in constants, and the emergence of patterns of duality of values, especially among new generations. These transformations were reflected in the nature of relationships within the family, as the gap between parents and children increased in perceptions and behaviors, threatening family cohesion and weakening traditional educational roles. These phenomena have also been linked to some psychological and behavioral challenges, such as feelings of alienation and loss of meaning, which calls for a scientific approach that integrates the value, psychological and social dimensions. Sub-topics: * Generation Z and shifts in value references: a sociological analysis * Moral fluidity and the gap between generations and their impact on family cohesion * Value shifts and their impact on the concept of marriage…an analytical fatwa approach * Mental health and the family in the digital age * The value gap within the family: from sociological diagnosis to fatwa treatment * The role of the fatwa in restoring the value system of the contemporary family in the digital age The seventh axis: The forward-looking vision for the future of the family and fatwa institutions This axis deals with building future scenarios Developing institutional foresight tools and playing an active role in this context, by developing tools and methodologies in line with the nature of future challenges. Sub-topics: * Scenarios for the future of the family in light of global transformations * The Fatwa Institution on the horizon of 2050, the required transformations and building future competencies * The forward-looking fatwa and the jurisprudence of anticipation…the methodology for dealing with issues before they escalate * Civilized dialogue on the family: strategies for Islamic interaction with the international human rights system. * Mechanisms for developing future competencies for muftis.
