چکیده

حقوق اسلامی که مستخرج از قرآن و سنت است، چارچوب جامع و دقیقی برای رسیدگی به مسائل اجتماعی و ترویج عدالت و انصاف ترسیم کرده است و علیرغم سوءبرداشت‌های غرب از شریعت اسلام، برآورنده نیاز جوامع امروزی است. این مقاله، موضع شریعت اسلامی در خصوص مفاهیم کلیدی حقوقی نظیر چندهمسری، قصاص، حجاب و ارث را مورد مطالعه تطبیقی قرار داده است و به‌علاوه، به تعامل پیچیده میان حقوق اسلامی و سیستم‌های حقوقی غربی پرداخته و پیشنهاداتی برای اصلاحات سیاستی ارائه کرده است تا عدالت و انصاف از طریق کاربست ظرفیت‌های شریعت اسلامی محفوظ بماند. پژوهشگران کوشیده‌اند با استفاده از شواهد تجربی و روش‌های تصمیم‌گیری چندوجهی، مانند فرآیند تحلیل سلسله مراتبی (AHP)، چالش‌های حقوقی معاصر و علی‌الخصوص حقوق اقلیت و حاشیه‌نشینان جوامع را مورد تحلیل قرار دهند. با برطرف کردن سوءبرداشت‌های موجود از حقوق اسلامی و تشحیذ اذهان، ره‌آورد پژوهش حاضر ارائه درکی صحیح از عدالت و انصاف در بستر شریعت اسلامی و سازواری عمیق آن با نیازهای دنیای امروز است.

چکیده [English]

Sharia law, derived from the Quran and Hadith, offers a comprehensive framework for addressing societal issues and promoting justice and equity. Despite Western misconceptions, Sharia law effectively meets the needs of contemporary society. Through a comparative analysis, this article explores Sharia's stance on key legal concepts such as polygamy, punishment for murder, the right to wear the hijab, and inheritance. It navigates the complex interaction between Sharia and Western legal systems, proposing policy reforms to harmonize distinct legal traditions while upholding justice and equity through Sharia law. Utilizing empirical evidence and multimodal decision-making methodologies, such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the article advocates for practical reforms that empower marginalized groups, foster societal cohesion, and address contemporary challenges. By debunking misconceptions and highlighting Sharia law's relevance and adaptability, this paper offers a deeper understanding of justice and equity based on Sharia to meet the demands of the contemporary world.
