Establishing Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah Through Juristic Methodology: Lesson from Traditional Juristic References
Keywords:
Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, Uṣūl al-Fiqh, Ijtihād, Maṣlahaḥ, MafsadahAbstract
Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah is defined as objectives or purposes aimed by the Syariah rules derived from the explicit and implicit understanding of the textual Al-Quran and prophetic traditions. This article seeks to clarify the methods of establishing Maqāṣid al- Sharīʿah as mentioned and guided by the jurists through reviewing primary and trusted sources from Uṣūl al-Fiqh references with the deployment of thematic analysis. The study sheds light that the particular terms used in Al-Quran play pivotal roles in guiding jurists to demonstrate their independent opinion (Ijtihād) in determining Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah of particular ruling in Syariah law. It also proves that Syariah law always aims at promoting benefit and interest together with avoiding harm and difficulty.
