Muslims with an offense or guilt they commit or with an uncertainty by the doer. This should be cautioned against because it leads to bloodshed. The participants indicated that fatwa leads people to the right path. Fatwa does not go with popular prejudices, as it is a notification from the Creator of the Universe. Fatwa is issued to deal with a real incident. When realities change, fatwa changes accordingly based on Sharia evidence and customs. They pointed out that mufti may preferably consult Ulema in his fatwa, particularly if it is uncertain or related to the public. This consultation is achieved today through jurisprudence complexes and Ifta panels. The participants discussed change of fatwa in the fourth session which was chaired by Dr. Abdulsalam Al-Abadi, Secretary General of the International Islamic Jurisprudence Complex, OIC. In their presentations, the researchers focused on the responsibility of Ummah Ulema to tackle new and modern issues. This entails the necessity of Ijtihad to manage such issues. It should be noted that worship; the permissible and the prohibited with clear-cut stipulation; and the agreed-upon rulings do not accept change or alteration. The speakers indicated that some rulings based on jurists' Ijtihad and inference, and issues with various referential texts may accept change and alteration. The researchers maintained that muftis should be versed in differentiation between the rulings which accept and which don't accept change and alteration, otherwise fatwa would be wrong and not sound. The topics of the third and fourth sessions were enriched with the various remarks of the speakers who replied to the questions of the attendance.
