Abstract
The quick changes we are experiencing today, such as globalization, broad IT use, and the development of science and technology, have a big impact on all aspects of global human activity, including education. This issue highlights the significance of managing and sharing knowledge in a knowledge-based society for greater competency and better performance. The present study aims at investigating ODL Challenges in creating an educated peaceful society by sharing knowledge, and ICT.  Using a conceptual approach, the study tries to answer many questions including ‘What is the role that is expected to be played by ODL in creating an educated peaceful society by sharing knowledge, and ICT?’, ‘What is the concept of information and communication technology?’, ‘How does ICT influence knowledge sharing?’, ‘What are the challenges in activating ICT and sharing knowledge?’, and ‘What are the advantages, disadvantages, and obstacles of using ICT in education?’. Answering these questions will help in understanding the role of ODL in creating an educated peaceful society. Knowledge is inevitably confined if the information is controlled and there is no easily accessible data. This outcome is anticipated to impede education, which is the cornerstone of peace, harmony, and development in any society.

Female Circumcision between Criminalization and Punishment: AComparative Legal Jurisprudential Study

Prepared by
A.Prof.Dr. Ibtesam Mohamed Adam Hasanin
Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University

Abstract
By providing its historical aspect, this study tries to illuminate the reality of Female Genital Mutilation (Female Circumcision/Khifad) and its sharia provision. There are several different kinds of female genital mutilation, according to the research, and one of them was described in the Sunnah and legal sources. The study displayed these types along with instructions on how to execute circumcision surgery on them, and also displayed the social, psychological, and medical implications of female genital mutilation. Additionally, it clarified the distinction between Sunni and Pharaonic circumcision. It also includes the provisions of the fatwas against female genital mutilation. In terms of law, we discover that jurists and medical experts have all agreed that Pharaonic circumcision is forbidden since it is viewed as a modification of Allah's creation. On the other hand, the jurisprudential views on the Sunnah's recommendation for female circumcision were split into three groups: those who believed it was necessary, those who believed it was from the Sunnah, and those who believed it was respectable. Each category has offered proof to back up its claims. We discover that several academics, medical professionals, and intellectuals outright forbade it on the grounds that doing so amputations organs. The research illustrates the rationality of the Sunnah's legitimacy of circumcision and the health advantages to the wife and husband from altering the instinct, without infringing on it. The study also demonstrates the sharia provision for the crime of circumcision performance by citing legal writings created in some countries where the culture of pharaonic circumcision flourished and where it was illegal. Instead, there are now sanctions for individuals who practice circumcision in those countries.
