Commandments of Istihala (Revolutionary Nature). "In the Light of Islamic Sharia" استحالہ (انقلاب ماہیت ) کے احکام " شریعت اسلامیہ کی روشنی میں " Section Articles

Abstract

In recent decades, advancements in the food and medicine industries have posed new challenges for Islamic jurisprudence, requiring both classical Islamic knowledge and technical expertise. A key jurisprudential principle is that an Islamic ruling cannot be made without fully understanding the issue. One complex question involves the chemical changes that food and medicine ingredients undergo during preparation, whether automatically or intentionally. Not all chemical changes qualify as "Inqilab" (a transformative change in Islamic law). For example, vapors from impure water and milk turning into curd are not considered Inqilab, while wine turning into vinegar is. Shariah doesn’t recognize molecular changes alone as Inqilab. The study explores principles to determine the legitimacy of molecular changes alone as Inqilab.
