شیرمادر بینک (Mother’s Milk Bank) کا شرعی حکم

The emergence of human milk banks for premature and underweight babies in the early twentieth century raised many questions about the proscription of breastfeeding kinship as are in Islamic jurisprudence. Many Islamic scholars tries to find its solution in the light of Quran, Sunnah and the sayings of early Imams of Fiqh, but their opinion about this matter was different like the differences of sayings of some Imams, until Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences based in Kuwait and Islamic fiqh Academy Jeddah, called Summits on this issue and decided against the establishment of such banks in Islamic world. The issue seemed to be almost solved until European Council for Fatwa and Research launched an appeal in 2003 against their solution and demanded to legitimate the use of Human Milk from these banks for the children of Muslim families in Europe and USA using the public scourge canon (Umum al Balwa) of fiqh. This appeal once again opened the door of discussion on this matter. This article is an overview of the sayings of early and modern jurisprudents and pros and cons of human milk banks in the quest of solution of this modern problem in the light of Islamic shariah, so that a just and balanced opinion may be adopted in this matter as it is motto of Islamic Law. This discussion will also affect many new problems faced by Muslim communities in European countries as well as Islamic countries in modern era

Proliferation of Deobandi School of Thought in South Asia and its Impact on the Politics of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

The collapse of Muslim rule in the Subcontinent of India during the nineteenth century generated a new role for the ‗ulama‘. The study traces how the ‗ulama‘ profited from the decline in the central authority, to the extent that they emerged from a position of relative obscurity to the de facto leaders of a vanquished nation. They mobilized on the basis of the "Wali Allah" tradition and pursued two options. The political option was oriented towards the re- establishment of Muslim rule through jihad. The intellectual option was directed at the masses in an attempt to revive their religious consciousness and create a greater awareness for the Shariah. After the Mutiny of 1857 a group of ‗ulama‘ in Deoband, in pursuit of the second option, launched an Islamic seminary named, Dar al-ulum which gainedrapidacceptancethroughouttheNorthernProvincesof India.The Deobandi ‗ulama‘ emerged as a very powerful religious force within the Subcontinent of India. How did they exert their power, authority and influence over the general masses? The Dar al-Ulum Deoband and its particular school of thought as well as the movement associated with it i.e. ―Deoband movement‖ is mainly interpreted from two perspectives. The first perspective portrays it as a movement striving to establish an Islamic state governed by the Shariah. The second interpretation views it as a religious reform movement mostly concerned with the perfection of faith of ordinary Muslims. The contribution made by the alumni of this great institution to the cause of the political freedom of the subcontinent undoubtedly constitutes a golden chapter in the history of India. It was the great founders of the Dar al-Ulum who first raised the flag of Indian independence; they sought to unite the people of the land, irrespective of creed and community under this flag, and then they themselves came forward to make personal sacrifices in that great cause. The basic thesis of this study is to trace the political struggle and authority of the Deobandi ulama and their political influence over the masses in the sub-continent in general and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in particular.
