IJTIHAD DAN REFORMASI HUKUM ISLAM DI INDONESIA

Abstract

This paper aims to briefly describe ijtihad and Islamic law and at the same time explain how important Islamic law reform is in Indonesia. This is done so that it can be seen that Islamic law originating from the Qur'an and hadith is difficult to be understood by Muslims without ijtihad. In answering the existing problems, the author uses classical methods in library research, namely collecting, quoting and analyzing various statements from the existing literature on ijtihad, Islamic law and those related to it. Based on the brief research conducted, it can be understood that ijtihad is very important in the study and formulation of Islamic law from time to time in accordance with the times or to be relevant to the living conditions and places of Muslims. Islamic law in Indonesia with all its problems, both in terms of its geographical area and the large number of Muslims with all their legal needs, becomes a challenge in itself in reforming Islamic law today and in the future. All of this can be answered by always trying to do ijtihad in exploring Islamic law from the main sources of the Qur'an and hadith as well as other sources of Islamic law from previous scholars
