As part of the activities of the First Annual Human Rights Festival, the College of Education for the Humanities, University of Kerbala, held a seminar titled “Hardship in Islamic Legislation: The Allegation of Harm to Humans and Their Freedom,” presented by Asst. Lect. Hassan Abdulhadi Rashid from the College of Islamic Sciences, Department of Quranic and Islamic Studies.
The seminar explained the merciful foundations of Islamic legislation and responded to misconceptions regarding the relationship between religious rulings and human freedom and interests. It highlighted key principles of alleviation and ease in Islamic rulings, addressing allegations such as oppression against women and harm to humans through obligations like fasting and jihad, clarifying the divine wisdom behind these legislations focused on purification, ethical development, and accountability.
It is worth mentioning that the seminar witnessed active participation from faculty members and students, who enriched the discussion with inquiries that centred on intellectual and practical aspects of the topic and how to address contemporary challenges when presenting the compassionate and balanced image of Islamic law.
