Fiqh of Social Engagement

Assesses if educational offerings systematically include the jurisprudence (fiqh) of social and civic engagement—covering pluralism, interfaith relations, and community service—integrated with robust governance, safeguarding, and local legal contextualization. Rooted in the Qur'anic mandate for ta'aruf (mutual acquaintance) and the maqasid (higher objectives) of preserving societal harmony, these programs should cultivate fiqh al-ta'ayush (jurisprudence of coexistence). By advancing maslahah (public interest), such education empowers learners to navigate diverse societies ethically.
