Islamic Law reform

Islamic law reform refers to the process of reinterpretation and adaptation of traditional Islamic legal principles (Sharia) to contemporary context and changing societal needs. It aims to balance adherence to religious teachings with modern human rights, justice, and gender equality. Reformers seek to reinterpret texts, considering historical circumstances and advancements in knowledge, to promote more equitable and relevant legal practices. This ongoing process varies across cultures and communities, reflecting diverse perspectives within Islam to ensure laws address current social, political, and ethical challenges while respecting core religious values.
