Among the fundamental features of Islamic law is that it is extant and renewable; it is complete without imperfections. It includes rulings for each and every human action. As such, it is possible to extract rulings from the texts of revelation that are valid for every time and place. Islamic tradition and the efforts of Muslim scholars across the ages and tradition testify that Islamic jurisprudence spares no effort in searching for the legal ruling for everything that occurs in the real world context of the people in accordance to the general criteria for rule extrapolation. Their great output has continued without interruption until present. Nothing evinces the truth of this assertion more powerfully than the daily flow of fatwas issued by fatwa offices in the Islamic world, especially by Egypt's Dar al-lfta. In addition, there are numerous researches conducted on a continuous basis and presented to scholarly institutes such as the Council of Senior Scholars, Al-Azhar Islamic Research Academy, international fiqh academies, conferences, seminars, and specialized journals. Contemporary researchers in Islamic law and related fields exert praiseworthy efforts on the individual level to address unprecedented issues and find suitable solutions predicated on Islamic legal criteria to social and temporal requirements.
