Drawing on a rich collection of fatwas (legal documents) from Fez, Tunis, and Granada, Admiral demonstrates how women—some without formal education—strategically navigated complex legal landscapes to protect their interests, expand their rights, and reshape social dynamics."
- In "Negotiating Islamic Law and State Norms in Child Marriage Practices in Coastal Indonesia" (Antmind Review: Journal of Sharia and Legal Ethics 2, no. 1 (2025)), Qodariah Barkah (Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, Indonesia) and others "explore the socio-legal dynamics underpinning early marriage in South Minahasa, North Sulawesi, by examining the interaction between Islamic jurisprudence, customary norms, and formal state law."
On Islam and AI/Data Science - In "Islam and Artificial Intelligence: Perspectives from Traditionalist and Modernist Muslim Communities in Indonesia" (Miqot Jurnal Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman 49, no. 1 (2025)), Muhammad Anang Firdaus (Institut Agama Islam Negeri, Indonesia) and others explore "how traditionalist and modernist Muslim communities in Indonesia respond to the ethical, religious, and social implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI)...using a qualitative analysis of fatwas, religious texts, and scholarly discourse."
- In "Data Endowment as a Digital Waqf: An Islamic Ethical Framework for AI Development" (Philosophy & Technology 38, no. 2 (2025)), Abdulqadir J. Nashwan (Hamad Medical Corporation) argues that the "concept of data endowment—viewing data generated by individuals as a valuable resource—can be ethically aligned with the Islamic tradition of waqf (endowment), offering a culturally grounded model for responsible AI development."
