The longest pregnancy duration is the comparative jurisprudence study with medicine

Saaad Al-Khathlan One of the major issues on which Islamic jurisprudence judgments are based is the issue of "the duration of pregnancy." Although scholars agree on the minimum duration of pregnancy—in general—the disagreement lies in the majority of the pregnancy duration, which has important implications such as establishing paternity, waiting periods, revocation, marriage, maintenance, inheritance, and others. The General Secretariat of the Islamic Fiqh Academy at the Muslim World League requested the writing of a research paper on this issue to present it to the jurists during the twenty-first session of the Academy. The author has structured this research into an introduction and six sections as follows: First: The introduction explaining the meaning of pregnancy in language and terminology. Section One: The minimum duration of pregnancy. Section Two: The maximum duration of pregnancy. Section Three: The maximum duration of pregnancy in medicine. Section Four: The comprehensive ruling in the Islamic world regarding the issue of the maximum duration of pregnancy. Section Five: The effects resulting from determining the maximum duration of pregnancy. Section Six: The author's opinion on the maximum duration of pregnancy. The author focused in this research on presenting the opinions of jurists and doctors, but he stated: I have not reached full conviction with what I have read and heard from doctors regarding this issue. He recommended expanding the scope of scientific medical research on this matter to include advanced medical centers worldwide. The maximum duration of pregnancy: A comparative jurisprudential study with medicine by Sheikh Saaad bin Turki Al-Khathlan, is an in-depth jurisprudential study that investigates the issue of pregnancy duration from an Islamic perspective and compares it with contemporary medical information.
