Is there a special jurisprudence for Muslim minorities living in non-Muslim societies?

The term "minority jurisprudence" (fiqh al-aqalliyyat) is a modern concept that emerged to clarify rulings specific to Muslim communities in Western countries. This is due to circumstances of necessities and needs that differ from the jurisprudence applicable to others. While it refers back to the fundamental sources of Islamic law (the Quran and Sunnah), it emphasizes the universal principles of Sharia, such as lifting hardship (raf‘ al-haraj), applying rulings related to needs (hajjaat) and necessities (daruraat), considering widespread affliction (umum al-balwa), averting harm (dar' al-mafaasid), and choosing the lesser of two harms.
