Audience Q&A — Sharia, Jurisprudence, and Moral Change59:36
Mohammed Hijab
Muslim

“How does Hijab explain legal adaptation in Islam while claiming objective morality?”

Hijab argues Sharia draws from multiple usul sources beyond only Quran/Hadith, including juristic principles around harm and benefit. He says this allows principled adaptation to new circumstances without abandoning objective moral anchors. He distinguishes between immutable foundations and variable rulings within jurisprudential method.

What is Iran's nuclear programme really about — is Iran trying to build a nuclear bomb?

Iran maintains that its nuclear programme is entirely for civilian energy and medical purposes. The IAEA has never confirmed a weapons programme, though it has found undeclared activities and unresolved questions. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei issued a religious fatwa declaring nuclear weapons forbidden in Islam. Whether a weapons capability is being quietly developed as a deterrent remains a core geopolitical dispute — but the framing of Iran as days away from a bomb has been repeated for over thirty years.
