Abstract
The evolution of Fiqh—Islamic jurisprudence—reflects the dynamic interplay between divine revelation, human reasoning, and socio-political transformations throughout Islamic history. Originating in the Prophetic and Companions’ era, Fiqh developed through the systematic methodologies of classical jurists and matured into distinct schools of thought. Over time, the discipline responded to challenges of governance, colonialism, modernization, and globalization. This article examines the historical trajectory of Fiqh from its formative period to contemporary reforms, highlighting the influence of ijtihad (independent reasoning), qiyas (analogical deduction), and maslahah (public interest) on jurisprudential adaptability. By exploring the shifts from the classical juristic tradition to modern legal thought, this study underscores how Fiqh continues to offer relevant frameworks for addressing modern ethical, social, and legal dilemmas.
