الاسترعاء الاحترازي وتطبيقاته المعاصرة Testimony Deposit And Its Contemporary Applications, Sarah Al-Hiyari

Jordan Journal of Islamic Studies

ملخص

يُعد الاسترعاء من وسائل الإثبات في الشريعة الإسلامية، ويقع تحت باب الشهادات، لذلك يمكن اعتباره من القرائن المثبتة، والشّهادة حجّة شرعيّة تُظهر الحقّ ولا توجبه، ولكن توجب على الحاكم أن يحكم بمقتضاه؛ لأنّها إذا استوفت شروطها؛ فهي مُظهرة للحقّ، والقاضي مأمور بالقضاء بالحقّ⁽[i]⁾‏، وتظهر حاجة الناس للشهادة لإثبات حقوقهم؛ نظرا لكثرة المنازعات والخصومات وفساد الذمم والاحتيالات، وغير ذلك من الأمور التي تؤرق صاحب الحق، حيث يُلجأ إلى الشهادة عند تعذر إقامة الحجة الموجبة للعلم في كل خصومة، ويعتبر الاسترعاء من المواضيع المهمة في الشهادات، التي تناولها السادة المالكية في بطون أمهاتهم منذ آلاف السنين، وضربوا …

However, subpopulations have differing views on mental illness since cultural factors can shape perceptions of and influence access to mental health information. Previous studies have investigated such cultural factors among Sunni Muslims (the majority sect of Islam) and less so among Shia Muslims (the minority sect). To address this gap, two research questions were investigated in this project: (1) What are the mental health attitudes among Shia Muslim adults in the United States, and (2) How much mental health knowledge or …

Islamic Meditation: Mindfulness Apps For Muslims In The Digital Spiritual Marketplace, Megan Adamson Sijapati

Religious Studies Faculty Publications

This chapter describes and analyzes three digital sites that offer guided meditations curated by and for Muslims: Sakeenah, Sabr, and Halaqah.
