Programs
Apprentices learn the grammar of inquiry: how to formulate questions, distinguish levels of evidence, trace juristic disagreement, and map a problem from lived experience back to usūl and primary texts.
Exercises emphasize case‑based work (fatwa labs, policy scenarios, historical debates) where students must show not only the answer they reach, but how they reached it, and what assumptions they challenged along the way.
Fellows practice inquiry at a research and leadership level, framing projects that address pressing issues—bioethics, economic order, governance, religious liberty—with clear questions, transparent methods, and accountable recommendations.
Excellence in Inquiry here includes public‑facing responsibility: how to translate complex juristic and theological reasoning into guidance that can withstand scrutiny in universities, courts, and community institutions.
