International Conference “Modern Challenges to Islamic Law: Exploring New Pathways”, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Hamburg, 6-7 June 2024

This international conference in honour of Prof. Shaheen Sardar Ali (University of Warwick, UK) takes up the urgent issues of modernity that Islamic law is faced with in various ways. These include Islamic constitutionalism, family law reform in the Muslim world, and the pressing topic of the epistemology of Islamic law by looking at how Islamic law is being taught. Eminent Islamic law scholars, academics, judges, and representatives of non-governmental organisations from the United States of America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and Egypt will discuss the challenges that Islamic law faces in the classroom, in the courtroom, and in the streets.

The event will also be livestreamed.
Please register for the conference (for on-site participation as well as for the livestream) no later than 30 May 2024.
