The application of Islamic human rights varies significantly across Muslim societies, leading to diverse interpretations. At times, cultural practices overshadow religious teachings, complicating the implementation of genuine rights protections. Furthermore, a misconception arises from failing to differentiate between the divine aspects of Islamic law and its human-derived jurisprudence (ijtihad). This leads some to mistakenly regard a fatwa as a sacred, unchangeable law, hindering legal evolution and adaptability.
