بدعت اور اجتہاد کادائرہ کاراورمعاصر فقہاء کی ذمہ داری

Abstract

Islam is an easy and practical system of spending life. It does not have any kind of constraint, oppression or restriction in its skirt due to a workable system of life and the exactness of human nature. Islam has introduced the concept of Ijtihād for the proper solution to the new situations and problems that arise in every age. A closer look at contemporary human societies makes it clear that Muslims belonging to different groups consider their desired modern issues and practices as Ijtihād, while others' favorite matters are considered as bid'āh. However, declaring every action of the opposing party against the Sharī'ah is in itself a form of innovation in the religion of Islam and is completely contrary to the teachings of Islam. This in itself is a major cause of instability and religious chaos in today's societies also. In the context of the current situation and problems, it is the duty of islamic jurists that they should guide to the right path of those who are entangled the Ummāh Muhammādīa in the innovative affairs of Islam so that the Muslim nation can be safe from bid'āhs. The discussion of this article covers the scope of both bid'āh and ijtihād. So that the concept of ijtihād and innovation becomes clear and many mutual disputes can be resolved
