The division of marital joint property after the breakup of marriage, whether dropping out of marriage due to divorce or due to death, is a new thing in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). This is because the concept of mutual treasure is not known in the books of classical Islamic jurisprudence of Muslim scholars of the schools at their times, in which their work are always made as referral in the legal cases up to the present days. In Indonesia, the distribution of common property is regulated in the Compilation of Islamic Laws Articles 96 and 97, which stipulate the rules of distribution of joint property for married couples whose married are off as a result of divorce or death. Article 97 of the Compilation of Islamic Law actually provides an overview of the flexibility of the distribution of common marital property, including in certain cases because the article is regulating (regelen) rather than forcing (dwigen), so that the division is not absolutely divided equally between husband and wife, and casuistically the provisions of that article may be disregarded.

Ijma’ means consensus in Islamic law, the universal and infallible agreement of either the Muslim community as a whole or Muslim scholars in particular. Iqbal—a great Urdu and Persian poet and Muslim scholar—urges the need of Ijma’ in Islamic jurisprudence, uṣūl al-fiqh. In this research paper, the scholar has given a detailed illustration on the importance of Ijma’, its usefulness, technical problems and definition in the light of the thoughts of Allama Iqbal.

Registration of marriages is one of the debatable issues among contemporary Muslim scholars. Considering the fact that it was not implemented during the Prophet’s (s.a.w) time, many scholars discuss the validity of its practice as one of Shari‘ah requirements to recognize a marriage contract. There is a need  to critically analyze the opinions of contemporary Muslim scholars on the registration of marriage as a requirement for a marriage contract to be recognized and officially authenticated, as currently practiced in many Muslim countries. Adequate attention is needed to be paid to the issue of the Sharī‘ah status of marriage registration, as it has no basis among the Sharī‘ah requirements for a valid marriage contract. This paper takes into consideration ten principles of Islamic jurisprudence such as al-Qiyās, Sadd al-Dharā’i‘, al-IstiÍsān, Maqāsid al-sharī‘ah and as-Siyāsah al-Shar‘iyyah to prove that the registration of marriage cannot be regarded as alien to Islamic law.

Recent scholarship on the manuscript libraries of North Africa has substantially increased the amount of literature available for analysis of the formative period in Islamic law, particularly for the nascent Malikite school. Students of Islamic law are now in a position, for instance, to begin a re-assessment of the 9th century, the vital transition period between the ancient schools of the 7th and 8th centuries, and the establishment of the classical schools in the 10th and 11th centuries.1 Not only will these new texts make the process of establishment of the classical schools clearer, they will also provide a much stronger basis for the study of earlier centuries, throwing into question the canonical status that has been granted to early legal texts by Western and traditional Muslim scholars alike.

Muslim jurists unanimously agree that any woman that gives birth to a child, the child is to be attributed to her husband and legitimacy of that child is to be established except in circumstances where the child is disclaimed by the husband through imprecation (li’an). However, dissension over the legitimation of children born out of wedlock has long been recorded in the classical books of Islamic Jurisprudence, although the majority of jurists’ opinion secured an overwhelming preponderance over others. The argument over the legitimation has recently been advanced in order to find a feasible solution to the alarming condition of children born out of wedlock. Interestingly, both opponents and proponents of the legitimation of illegitimate children among Muslim scholars buttress their arguments with the famously narrated hadith “al-walad lil firash” (“The child is traced to the owner of the bed i.e. the legitimate husband).” on the subject matter. Therefore, this article seeks to explore juristic interpretations of the hadith and the rationale behind the scholars’ dissention. This article is a result of a research that has been done through the adoption of a qualitative approach of research, which includes doctrinal and non-doctrinal legal research methodologies. It has been found that attributing a child to his putative father after the acknowledgement does not contravene the fundamental principle of Shariah; it is rather an opinion held by the majority of classical Muslim scholars.

This paper explains that mashlahah is one of Islam law methods that is very dominantly used to the Ulamasin Islamic Jurisprudence. Even though the Koran and the Sunna are assumed as the primary sources of Islamic law (qath‘îy), there is a lot of famous ulama and Muslim scholars who placed mashlahah as the primary sources of Islamic jurisprudence. Moreover, even though the position of mashlahah is assumed zhanniy, butin various cases – especially in Islamic Private Law – it is seldom placed higher than the other methods such as ijma‘, qiyas, istihsân, istishhâb, syadd al-dzari‘ah, syar‘u man qablana, and ‘urf. He used a logical of law that everything from God can be referred to the sacred texts (Nash), and everything from human being can be solved by mashlahah.

<p>Nowadays, Muslims are facing various contemporary problems related to the discourse of fiqh or Islamic law. In this case, the old tradition of Islamic jurisprudence is no longer sufficient to answer those problems due to the changes in the context of space, time, culture, and contemporary sciences. Any effort to renew the aspect of methodology must be done in the field of uṣul al-fiqh not only in Islamic jurisprudence. This is the reason that methodological reconstruction is needed in order to make it is able to accommodate the various problems that are disturbing Muslims today. One of Muslim scholars who tried to reconstruct at the level of the methodology of maqāṣid al-shariah is Jasser Auda. For the purpose of reconstructing maqāṣid al-shariah fundamentally, Auda uses a philosophical approach that is multidisciplinary as well as open with various other relevant disciplines as a methodological framework for reforming the study of uṣul al-fiqh and Islamic law. Applying philosophical and historical approach this study found that Auda reconstructs maqāṣid al-shariah by offering six features: cognitive nature, wholeness, openness, interrelated hierarchy, multidimensionality, and purposefulness. Furthermore, Auda gives contribution to the development of Islamic law and human rights. This paper will explore reconstruction as well as the contribution of maqāṣid al-shariah promoted by Auda through the approach of the philosophy of the system.</p>

This article aims to examine the method of ijtihad (independent reasoning) that is applied in constructing the fatwas issued by the National Sharia Council (DSN) under the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) as well as its philosophical values ​​by deeming the use of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) rules in terms of maslahah (benefits). A qualitative approach was employed in the study by exploring the DSN-MUI fatwas enacted ranging from 2000 to 2017. This present study highlights that the DSN-MUI used three approaches in establishing its fatwas, namely: naṣ qaṭ’i (definitive Islamic law in the Qur’an and Hadith), qauli (Muslim scholars’ perspectives), and manhaj (methodological interpretation). Additionally, the DSN-MUI completely concerned maṣālih ‘āmmah (public interests) and the objectives of Islamic law (maqāsid ash-shari’ah). Another finding promotes that 37 different types of fiqh rules were applied in the DSN-MUI fatwas, which were repeated 242 times. The Islamic jurisprudence rule that was widely implemented covered “the legal origins of muamalat (transactions) are permissible as there are no Islamic sources (dalil) that forbid them”. The quantity of use was 78 times with a percentage of 32.2. Furthermore, it can be noticed that 11 fiqh rules internalizing philosophical values were repeated 112 times. This study also offers that it is noteworthy to provide more norms of maqāsid ash-shari’a since there are lots of current issues in muamalat that have no legal considerations in the naṣ qaṭ’i.

This article deals with creative proposals by four contemporary authors who promoted reform either from within the shari’ah or by borrowing methods such as empiricism and hermeneutics beyond the conventional scope of the shari’ah. To revive the forgotten sphere of Islamic public law, Mohammad Hashim Kamali puts forth the idea of identifying Islamic notions of ijma’, shura and ijtihad with modern statutory law and government ordinances. Abd al-Hamid Abu Sulayman proposes that the application of Islamic legal norms (ahkam) must be aligned within space-time considerations, which centre on two principles of necessity and fine-tuning (talfiq). Taha Jabir al-Alwani signifies the important role that knowledge of ‘rational priorities’ (‘ilm al-awlawiyyat) can play in balancing and stabilising Islamic jurisprudence. He extends the scope of ijtihad in such broad sense to bring the higher objectives of the shari’ah into account to conform to timely requirements. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd is one of the first Muslim scholars to approach the shari’ah by applying modern hermeneutics as a method of inquiry into the interpretation of legal texts. The modern hermeneutics, he believes, opens the gate for new understandings to update Islamic law.
