    Choosing a researchable topic is an inevitable point of call for any intending researcher. It is the foundation that dictates the trends throughout the study. However, the process of choosing a good researchable topic is herculean. This is because an intending researcher cannot afford to undergo certain systematic laid-down procedures. This has made most upcoming academic researchers run away from research activities. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the process of choosing a good researchable legal topic with sole reliance on the doctrinal method of legal research. The paper finds that a good research topic has certain characteristics such as being clear, straightforward, unambiguous and easily comprehensible; being tailored towards areas of interests and competencies of the researcher; not representing a moral, spiritual or esoteric situation etc. The paper finds further that factors for choosing a good researchable legal topic include FINE techniques and FRIENDS modes, amongst others. The paper reveals that generating ideas to choose a good researchable topic could be achieved vide attending viva, conferences, literature reviews, and brainstorming to mention but a few. The paper equally finds that certain tools could assist a researcher to achieve choosing a good researchable legal topic. These tools include selecting appropriate areas of research, replica study of the past related research, studying recommendations for future research etc. The paper finds also that the significance of choosing a good researchable legal topic is deeply rooted in its uniqueness and identity from the previous research in conformity with the rule against plagiarism. The paper finally finds that a good researchable legal topic is susceptible to changes, modifications and amendments depending on the developments and trends in the course of the research. The paper recommends constant and continuous engagement in research activities for the upcoming academic researchers to attain perfection.

    JUSTIFYING THE PERMISSIBILITY OF MODERN FAMILY PLANNING FOR MUSLIM PATIENTS: A JURISPRUDENTIAL ANALYSIS
    (Faculty of Law, International University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2025-12-30) Ahmed Abiodun Muhammed-Mikaaeel; Halimat Tope Akaje; Shehu Kazeem Hassan; Khairat Eletu
    Wrong misconception regarding permissibility of the modern family planing for Muslim patients is common in Muslim societies. This resulted into negative perception to the modern family planning practice by contraception. This is further aggravated by divergent opinions of scholars breeding controversy on this subject. This prompts this study to embark on the justification of the permissibility of the modern family planing for Muslim patients via jurisprudential analysis. The study adopts doctrinal method to analyse various provisions of the Qur’an and Sunnah as well as juristic opinion about contraception under Islamic law. The study asserts that the practice of family planning is age-long, pre-dating Islamic era. It contends that Islamic legislation does not condemn the contraceptive practices but modified it. The study finds that the issue of contraception split scholars of Islamic jurisprudence into two: the antagonists and the protagonists. The study finds that both sides of the antagonists and the protagonists relied on the provisions from the sources of law to strengthening their arguments. The study finds that the position of the protagonists of the contraceptive method of family planning is in line with the objectives of Islamic law. The study finds that there is justification for the permissibility of the modern contraception for Muslim patients in line with maqasid Shari‘ah. The study recommends that Muslim patients have the duty to ascertain which type of contraceptive method is safe and devoid of risk from the medical experts while exercising their right to contraception.
