The Singapore Office of the Mufti has published the Contemporary Irsyad Series, which discusses the realities of finding solutions to current realities.

In the foreword, Dr Mohamed Fatris Bakaram, Mufti of Singapore, notes that Singapore is secular, multiracial and multireligious, with complex economic structures and advanced technology. "There is
a compelling need for us to be discerning – we have to stay true to the higher objectives of our religion and the broader jurisprudential and ethical frameworks, without necessarily attempting to force fit historical solutions to our current challenges and issues," he states.

Volume 1 focuses on questions of rituals, prayers and fasting, food, and interacting with other faiths.
