The Impact of Custom on Hanafi Jurisprudence and Its Application in Contemporary Fatwas: A Focus on Modern Jurisprudential Perspectives
Main Article Content
Abstract
Among the cosmic laws of Almighty Allah are the change of conditions, the alteration of circumstances and times, and the continuity of renewal. Each era has its own customs and characteristics, with modern times being defined by scientific development and technological progress. This research investigates how changes in customs impact the modification of fatwas, specifically focusing on the transformation of some contemporary fatwas compared to those in the past. The study aims to answer the question of why these changes occur by providing scientific foundations and contemporary jurisprudential applications. We analyze the extent of the impact of changing customs on fatwas and how this has influenced jurisprudence, particularly in recent times. The research uses a descriptive-analytical methodology, collecting data from authentic sources and the information network (Internet). The study reveals that custom plays a crucial role in shaping Islamic rulings, especially in areas not explicitly addressed in Islamic law. Custom is recognized as a legitimate source of law, as long as it does not contradict established legal texts. This finding underscores the significance of custom in Islamic jurisprudence and its evolving role in contemporary fatwas.
