Abstract
Much has been written about the contributions of artificial intelligence—as an emerging and rapidly developing technology—to Islamic jurisprudence—as a historically developed technology. This article, however, is a second-order study from the perspective of the epistemology of science rather than a first-order inquiry within the domain of jurisprudence itself. Its aim is to critically examine the potential contributions that Islamic jurisprudence and jurists may offer to the balanced and sustainable development of artificial intelligence. In accordance with this objective, the structure of the article is organized as follows: The first section examines the relationship between science and technology, as well as the processes through which technologies and scientific disciplines mutually reinforce and interact with one another. The second section introduces Islamic jurisprudence as a form of technology. The third section provides an explanation of the operational mechanisms of artificial intelligence. Finally, the fourth section discusses the possibility of jurisprudence contributing to the development of artificial intelligence and critically evaluates the fundamental vulnerability of jurisprudence in this regard.
