Academic Background and Scholarship
Abd al-Razzaq ibn Abd Allah ibn Ghalib al-Kindi earned his doctorate from the Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), where his dissertation received a recommendation for publication .
His primary research focuses on contemporary issues in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh al-nawazil), particularly the intersection of Islamic law and modern medicine regarding fasting, titled al-Muftirat al-Tibbiyya al-Muasira: Dirasa Fiqhiyya Tibbiyya Muqarana ("Contemporary Medical Invalids of Fasting: A Comparative Jurisprudential and Medical Study") . In this study, al-Kindi examined modern clinical procedures across the four Sunni legal schools alongside contemporary medical findings, emphasizing that juristic rulings on novel medical treatments require an accurate medical understanding rather than merely projecting classical terms onto modern practices where the underlying realities differ . To ensure medical precision, his methodology integrated standard references from the four schools with direct consultations and interviews with medical consultants and specialists, including Muhammad Ali al-Bar, Khalid Shamikh al-Humaid, and Sa'id ibn Umar al-Amudi .
