ABSTRACT

The concept of waqf represents a cornerstone of Islamic philanthropy and social welfare.

A waqf involves dedicating property or assets to a perpetual charitable cause, ensuring its benefits extend across generations while prohibiting its sale, inheritance, or transfer. It offers innovative solutions for poverty alleviation, education, and healthcare while fostering community solidarity. Challenges such as regulatory frameworks, transparency, and efficient management remain areas of focus to maximize its potential in modern economies. Historically, waqf played a vital role in the socio-economic development of Muslim societies, funding mosques, schools, hospitals, and public utilities.

LONG ARTICLE: LIABILITY FOR DEFAMATION: CAN REPOSTING ALLEGEDLY DEFAMATORY CONTENT LEAD TO A GUILTY VERDICT?

This long article is written by Bhavneet, A fifth-year law student at Chandigarh University. She is passionate about law and has written various blogs and articles which has helped widen her knowledge.

ABSTRACT

This article investigates the legal ramifications of sharing offensive material online. It explores the potential of defamation lawsuits against individuals who distribute or republish other’s work. In the era of social media and instant messaging, the ease with which information can be shared presents significant legal challenges with regard to defamation. This discussion briefly reviews defamation rules, focusing on the differences between the original author of defamatory content and subsequent users who disseminate it. In addition to analyzing important instances that have influenced the notion of defamation responsibility for reposting content, legal principles like publishing, intent, and malice are also examined. The essay also examines how social media platforms are evolving, user accountability, and the impact of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act on defamation claims in the U.S. The aim is to provide a nuanced understanding of how the law applies to individuals who amplify potentially harmful statements and whether reposting can result in legal consequences. The handling of defamation claims resulting from reposted content is compared across legal systems in the UK, EU, and other countries, taking note of differences in the legislation about liability, reputation, and freedom of speech. Potential reforms that could better strike a compromise between the need to safeguard people’s reputations from damage and the right to free speech have been covered.
