'''Mohammad-Ebrahim Jannati Shahroudi''' (born 1311 SH) is an innovative jurist who organizes his jurisprudential deduction by relying on the examination of the criteria (*malakat*) of rulings in social and governmental issues. Based on this, he has issued unconventional and minority fatwas, including the intrinsic purity of humans and the permissibility of women holding the position of a judge. The books [[General Methods of Deduction in Fiqh from the Perspective of Islamic Jurists (Book)|General Methods of Deduction in Fiqh from the Perspective of Islamic Jurists]] and [[Fiqh and Time (Book)|Fiqh and Time]] are among his works and express his jurisprudential and principled thoughts. Jannati has theorized on topics such as desirable ijtihad, the age of puberty for girls, music, hijab, the status of women from the perspective of jurisprudential principles, and also apostasy.
