Researcher Bilal Mohammed Aziz Al-Hanaq \u200ewas awarded a PhD degree in Islamic Jurisprudence and Its Principles \u200efor his dissertation titled: Imam Yahya bin Hamza\u2019s Jurisprudential Choices: An Applied Study on Purification and Prayer as a Model, which was submitted to the Department of Islamic Studies, Faculty of Arts and Humanities\u2013 Sana\u2019a University. The MA defense was held on Tuesday, August 18, 2026.
\nThe PhD Viva-Voce Committee, which was formed based on a resolution issued by the Graduate Studies and Scientific Research Council, consisted of the following:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Prof. Ali Ahmed Yahya Al-Qaedi \u2013 Amran University \u2013 External Examiner and Committee Chair.
\n\u2022 Dr. Mutea Mohammed Abdu Ahmed \u2013 Internal Examiner and Committee Member.
\n\u2022 Dr. Ali Mohammed Maqbool Al-Ahdal \u2013 Principal Supervisor and Committee Member.
\nThe dissertation aimed to examine Imam Yahya bin Hamza\u2019s jurisprudential choices concerning a number of issues related to purification and prayer, and to identify his preferred positions within the Zaidi School and those of other Islamic schools of jurisprudence. It also sought to present the views of jurists and scholars, examine their evidence, and identify the basis for his choices and preferred rulings within a comparative jurisprudential framework.
\nThe study found that Imam Yahya bin Hamza was one of the prominent Zaidi scholars among the descendants of the Prophet in the seventh century AH. His work, \u201cAl-Intisar \u2018ala Ulama\u2019 al-Amsar,\u201d represents an extensive comparative jurisprudential encyclopedia that reflects the breadth of his knowledge, scholarly erudition, and the diversity and depth of his jurisprudential discussions and branches.
\nThe study highlighted the importance of this work for the study of comparative jurisprudence and Zaidi jurisprudential heritage, particularly its extensive range of issues and discussions that can benefit students of Islamic knowledge, researchers, and jurists.
\nThe dissertation recommended conducting further academic studies and research on Imam Yahya bin Hamza\u2019s jurisprudential choices and preferred rulings across different areas of Islamic jurisprudence, including zakat, fasting, pilgrimage, and financial transactions, and making greater use of his works in comparative jurisprudential studies.
\nThe defense session was attended by a number of academics, researchers, and postgraduate students, as well as the researcher\u2019s colleagues and family members.<\/p>\n
