The swift pace of development in our modern society in the era of globalisation is generating new demands for resolving various issues in the light of Islam. As new issues continue to emerge, the public expects the authorities and fatwa institutions to provide comprehensive solutions by integrating modern and Islamic perspectives and fostering closer cooperation with every stratum of society. Realising the need to issue fatwas based on contemporary approaches and the need to strengthen the fatwa institutions, the International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (IAIS) Malaysia on 10 March 2016 organised a seminar on Understanding Fatwa in the Contemporary Context: Issues Relating to Fatwa in the Context of Contemporary Fiqh.
