harm. This has led to a state of intellectual chaos in which fatwas deviate from the middle ground
and tend towards excess or neglect, and sometimes even turn into extremism and conflicts that
lead to the shedding of innocent blood and the violation of inviolable sanctities.

Holding this conference in the United Arab Emirates reflects the country’s continued leadership
role as a beacon of progressive endeavour and well-founded, moderate fatwas, as well as its
excellence in various scientific fields under the wise guidance of its leadership. It is also part of the
UAE Council for Fatwa’s efforts to contribute to rigorous scientific research and to support scholars
in fulfilling their noble duty of issuing fatwas. This conference follows the Council’s previous
scientific conferences: the “Emergency Jurisprudence Conference” (2021), held in collaboration
with the Muslim World League, which addressed the legal issues related to the COVID-19
pandemic, and the “Sharia Integration with Scientific Advancements Conference” (2023), which
explored legal issues related to areas such as renewable energy, the human genome, performing
worship in outer space, lab-grown meat, and big data trading, among others.

God, in His grace, is the Arbiter of success and the Guide to the right path.
