Overview
The College of Islamic Studies presents this public lecture series on a significant canonical text in Islamic studies, Bidayat al-Mujtahid wa-Nihayat al-Muqtasid authored by Ibn Rushd (d. 595 A.H.).
The book provides a review of the most important jurisprudential (Fiqh) issues relevant to our contemporary life, especially in regards to financial transactions. It does so by comparing between schools of thought in a jurisprudential manner, while weighing in on them in accordance with the objectives of Sharia.
The lecture series will comprise several lectures every Monday, commencing from the start of the Spring 2024 semester until its end. This lecture series will be given by Dr. Abdulazeem Abozaid, a professor at College of Islamic Studies.
Registration is open to all students and those interested in studying the foundational texts of local communities. Certificates of attendance will be granted to participants at the end of the semester, provided that their absences do not exceed three sessions.
Please note that the number of seats is limited, and priority will be given to those who pre-register.
