Abstract
In the paper,
instead of coming up with new findings and data, I will make use
of some of the IIIT and other publishers books, journals and
papers on the area that I will be researching on. Also, given
only five more weeks to complete the paper, it will be more
feasible to take this approach of researching and citing
existing resources to find answers to the research question. The
paper will start with defining some of the popular terms in Fiqh
and Islamic Law. Then, the methods of approaching the major
sources of Fiqh and Islamic Law will be elaborated. Next, the
paper will go in depth to research and comment on the roles of
Ijtihad in the modern society and how it could help in finding a
balance in today’s modern and secular world. Before concluding
the research, a case study will be developed and elaborated. As
for my interest, I will choose the Islamically ethical way of
daily interactions between male and female as the case study to
be elaborated in the context of Ijtihad and Islamic law. The
paper will conclude with my finding on the roles of Ijtihad in
the society and my finding on its relevance in opening new means
to alleviate the increasing conflicts of different interests in
the modern society. The paper will be presented in a website
format.
