It has two multiple-choice subtasks, each stratified by difficulty. 2. **[Assessing Large Language Models on Islamic Legal Reasoning: Evidence from Inheritance Law Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bouchekif-2025-assessing-large-language-models-islamic/)** *(2025 · 31 citations)* The paper asks how well current LLMs handle Islamic inheritance law (ʿilm al-mawārīth). The task is a demanding mix of reading the family situation, applying exclusion and fixed-share rules, and doing exact fractional arithmetic with corrections such as radd and ʿawl. The authors test seven models zero-shot with… 3. **[QIAS 2026: Overview of the Shared Task on Islamic Inheritance Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bouchekif-2026-qias-2026-overview-shared-task/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* QIAS 2026, a shared task at OSACT7 (co-located with LREC 2026), tests whether large language models can solve Islamic inheritance (ʿilm al-mawārīth) cases written in Arabic from start to finish. 4. **[Grounding Arabic LLMs in the Doha Historical Dictionary: Retrieval-Augmented Understanding of Quran and Hadith](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/eltanbouly-2026-grounding-arabic-llms-doha-historical/)** *(2026)* Large language models, including Arabic-native ones, often misread Classical Arabic. The Qur'an and Hadith use archaic vocabulary, senses that drifted over centuries, and older grammar. Models trained mostly on modern web text therefore produce anachronistic or wrong interpretations.
