REFORMATION IN ISLAMIC LAW; CAN SHARIA DISENTANGLE FROM FIQH?
Abstract
ABSTRACT
After modernisation, numerous new phenomena played a significant role
for all of humankind. These phenomena paved the way for novel dilemmas for all
people, especially Muslims. These new systems were created by Western civilisation
and imposed on other civilisations, and Muslims confront the dilemma of how they
can lead a Muslim life under the pressures of modern notions such as the nationstate
and devices -like technology. In that context, they need to identify the
relationship between religious faith and modern ways of life. This identification,
generally, has been discussed in the respect of reformation. This article will discuss
the reformation of Islamic law in terms of Sharia and fiqh, and will further cover the
similarities and differences between these terms. At the same time, it will attempt to
answer the question of whether fiqhis able to disentangle from Sharia and whether
or not, in order to reform Islamic law, this is necessary in various circumstances.
