2- Our Need for New Fiqh (2): Dr. Ihssan Baadarani

When we called, and continue to call, for (Our Need for a New Fiqh), it was indeed after a knowledgeable and insightful awareness of priorities as imposed by reality, and of weighing and balancing away from tradition, and of the fiqh of reality, the future, and destiny, in light of the Quran and the Sunnah.

Our call aims for a fiqh that comprehends Islamic teachings and the objectives of the Sharia, encompasses constants and variables, goals and means, and adopts from the fiqh of the predecessors what suits the emerging realities of life.
Not all that is old is to be taken!
And from the fiqh of the successors, what we face from the conditions of the era that did not exist in the past, not all that is new is to be discarded.
We must move beyond the thought of trials and tribulations, and deal with life, people, and the world with a mindset and fiqh of well-being, necessity, moving beyond traditional fiqh and rejection of the other, and looking forward to the fiqh of emerging issues and the interests of the people and the nation, reaching for a prudent political fiqh that has not been given its due in research and depth, as has the fiqh of worship, transactions, and others.
