PERAN IJMA’ SEBAGAI SUMBER HUKUM DALAM USHUL FIQIH

Introduction

Peran ijma’ sebagai sumber hukum dalam ushul fiqih. Jelajahi peran ijma' sebagai sumber hukum Islam ketiga dalam ushul fiqh. Pahami bagaimana ijma' membentuk hukum syariah saat Al-Qur'an dan Hadis tidak langsung, serta relevansinya di setiap zaman.

Abstract

Ijma’, one of the sources of Islamic law in the study of ushul fiqh, plays an important role in establishing sharia law, especially in cases where the Qur'an and Hadith do not provide a direct explanation of the issue. This article also discusses the position of ijma’ as the third source of law after the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as its importance to keep pace with the changes that have occurred in the lives of Muslims throughout history. In this article, a qualitative descriptive approach will be used to explain the different types of ‘ijma’, the requirements needed for it to be valid, and examples that can be applied in the context of rulings. Ijma’ not only demonstrates the intellectual agreement of the mujtahids but also shows the richness and flexibility of Islamic methods that respond to the challenges of the times while maintaining the basic values of the religion. This study aims to explain the position of ijma’ as a source of Islamic law after the Qur'an and Hadith, and to explain its forms, conditions, and relationship with meeting the legal needs of Muslims at various times. Since ijma’ is an important tool for maintaining the continuity and relevance of Islamic law in various social, cultural, and historical contexts, understanding ijma’ well is essential for building a flexible Islamic legal framework that remains grounded in the integrity of Islamic teachings.

Review

This article promises a timely and significant exploration into the role of Ijma’ as a foundational source of Islamic law within the discipline of Usul Fiqh. The abstract clearly articulates the study's primary objective: to explain Ijma's pivotal position as the third source after the Qur'an and Hadith, particularly in addressing legal gaps where direct scriptural guidance is absent. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the paper intends to delve into the various types of Ijma’, the stringent requirements for its validity, and provide practical examples of its application in legal rulings. This comprehensive scope, from theoretical grounding to practical implementation, sets a strong foundation for understanding a crucial mechanism in Islamic jurisprudence. A notable strength highlighted in the abstract is the article's emphasis on Ijma' not merely as a historical consensus but as a dynamic tool demonstrating the "richness and flexibility of Islamic methods that respond to the challenges of the times." This forward-looking perspective, aiming to show how Ijma' helps "keep pace with the changes that have occurred in the lives of Muslims throughout history," is particularly compelling. By exploring how Ijma' maintains the "continuity and relevance of Islamic law in various social, cultural, and historical contexts," the article positions itself to offer valuable insights into the adaptability and enduring integrity of the Islamic legal framework. The commitment to illustrating its relevance through "examples that can be applied in the context of rulings" is an excellent feature, bridging theoretical discussion with practical application. For the article to fully deliver on its ambitious promises, it will be crucial for the qualitative descriptive analysis to delve deeply into the nuances and complexities surrounding Ijma'. While the abstract mentions exploring "different types of 'ijma'" and "requirements needed for it to be valid," a thorough engagement with the scholarly debates and historical disagreements concerning the scope and authority of Ijma' would significantly strengthen the analysis. Specifically, demonstrating how Ijma' *concretely* addresses contemporary challenges and maintains relevance will require well-chosen and rigorously analyzed examples that go beyond mere illustration. If the article successfully navigates these aspects with scholarly precision, it stands to be a highly valuable contribution to the understanding of Usul Fiqh and the ongoing development of Islamic legal thought.
