INCOILS 2026 Proceedings — Volume 5, No. 1

The 2026 volume is divided into thematic sections, including:

Islamic Law

Education

Qur'an and Hadith Studies

Theology, Philosophy and Sufism

Communication, Psychology and Social Science

Other Islamic-studies areas

This makes the conference quite broad: Islamic law is treated as part of a wider discussion about Islam, society and contemporary problems, rather than as an isolated legal discipline. (Incoils)

The Islamic Law section contains papers dealing with both classical Islamic legal concepts and contemporary legal problems.

For example, the 2026 proceedings include:

Environmental law and fiqh

From La Ḍarar wa Lā Ḍirār to Ecological Ethics: Rereading Fiqhiyyah Rules in the Contemporary Environmental Crisis

The paper examines the classical fiqh principle of lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār in relation to contemporary environmental concerns. 

AI and Islamic economic law

Another particularly contemporary example is:

The Validity of Artificial Intelligence (AI)–Based Business Contracts from the Perspective of Islamic Economic Law and Maqasid al-Shari‘ah

This is interesting because it connects AI, commercial contracts, Islamic economic law and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah.

Family law

The proceedings also contain research such as:

Polygamy in the Perspective of Family Law in Tunisia and Turkey

Application of the Mubadalah Principles in the Division of Domestic and Public Roles in Dual Earner Families

Marriage Guardianship in Interfaith Marriages from the Perspective of Madhhab Scholars

The Epistemology of Islamic Family Law in Al-Suyuthi Thought
