Mission

Why this website exists

Computational Fiqh exists to provide a clear, structured scholarly home for an emerging fieldbringing foundational references, core questions, and methodological directions into one readable place.

The project began from a recurring gap: relevant work is often dispersed across disciplines, terminologies, and publication contexts. This site organizes that landscape so researchers and students can orient quickly, trace intellectual foundations, and build on shared ground.

About the researcher

Computational Fiqh project lead

Independent researcher in Islamic legal theory, computational methods, and interdisciplinary knowledge design.

This work focuses on building a rigorous scientific foundation for computational fiqh by connecting usul al-fiqh reasoning structures with formal models, reproducible research practices, and clear archival organization for emerging scholarship.

Current focus areas

  • Conceptual mapping between legal maxims, evidentiary structures, and computational representations.
  • Curating a reference corpus for computational fiqh and adjacent methodological literature.
  • Designing transparent research workflows that support traceability and scholarly critique.
  • Developing shared vocabulary for interdisciplinary collaboration across fiqh and computation.
