Iraq: Kurdistan Branch of the Union Participates in a Fiqh
Seminar on Sacrificial Animal Management from a Contemporary Sharia Perspective
A
delegation from the Kurdistan branch of the International Union of Muslim
Scholars participated in a fiqh seminar, considered the first of its kind in
Iraq, titled: “Institutional Management of Sacrificial Animals,” with the
participation of a select group of scholars and jurists.
The
delegation was headed by Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Wahab Al-Binjawini, head of the
Kurdistan branch, and included Dr. Zaid Yassin Suleiman and Dr. Bahauddin
Abdulmughith Khalifa as members.
The
seminar was held on Saturday, 2 May 2026, organized by Al-Rakeeza Foundation in
cooperation with the Council of Iraqi Scholars. It addressed several
jurisprudential and organizational themes, foremost among them the Islamic
rulings related to sacrifice and its conditions, in addition to discussing
mechanisms for the institutional management of the sacrificial ritual in line
with Sharia guidelines.
The
seminar also explored contemporary perspectives on developing institutional
work in the management of sacrificial animals, in a way that achieves the
objectives of Islamic Sharia, enhances service efficiency during this religious
occasion, and strengthens its social impact.
The
event marked a scholarly precedent in Iraq, as it combined classical
jurisprudential grounding with modern administrative approaches, reflecting the
orientation of religious and academic institutions toward developing
Sharia-based practices in line with contemporary needs and enhancing community
service.
