Peta Fiqh Mu‘asir Muslim Progresif
Abstract: Many contemporary
Muslim scholars argue that Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) is not ready to face
the demands of the modern era. Modernity is so powerful that it weakens the
foundation of fiqh on the one hand, and opens up new opportunities that cannot
be reached by fiqh on the other. The method that fiqh has introduced is in
itself incapable of adapting to new situation and also incapable of addressing
new issues such as the issue of human right, constitusionalism and the like. It
is in this context that the contemporary Muslim scholars speak out for reform
in the methodology of fiqh as well the application of thismethodology in
addressing new issues. This paper is concerned with discussing this problem by
referring to the thought of some leading authority in this regard such as
Abdullahi Ahmed an-Na‘im, Aboe el-Fadl and Nas}r H{âmid Abû Zayd. The paper
argues that for these scholars, fiqh has lost its role and power in the modern
society because of its discriminative trait. Fiqh must therefore deal with this
negative image if it is to restore its influence in the modern civilization.
