Menggagas Fikih Responsif: Upaya Progresif Modernisasi Fikih

Abstract

This article discusses the modernization of fiqh in an effort to respond changes and developments in society. The aim is to find a solution to the legal problem (Islam), which so far seems stagnant.. This study found 3 causative factors, namely: first, the law is understood as a single entity that is not linked to other entities. In fact, the reality is that the law is closely related to other disciplines. Second, the law is understood as being untouchable, even though the law goes hand in hand with the development of reality. Third, the law is always based on normative textualism, even though there is much local wisdom that also carries philosophical values that are relevant to the legal purpose. This false assumption must begin to be deconstructed, otherwise, there will be empty space in the law (Islam). As a solution, the integrative system approach must be promoted through the transformation of taqlid qauli towards taqlid manhaji, from the linearist paradigm to the teleological paradigm.
