Innovation in the Science of Jurisprudence The New Explanation as a Model

Abstract

Renewal is an Islamic term and Islamic phenomenon which is part of the culture and teaching of the universal heavenly message that the Prophet brought. This is a developmental philosophy to ensure the survival of human civilization since it is derived from the Hadith: “God sends this nation at the head of every hundred years someone who renews the religion.” Renewal in the science of fundamentals of Jurisprudence which has no known limit or specific concept. Rather, it differs according to different ages and the researchers ’perception about it in a way that suits their culture provided that it will not undermine in the fundamentals of belief and worship which has been mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah of peremptory rulings. Contemporary life created by the changes that occurred in society in order to derive appropriate judgments for it from its legal evidence.
Renewal in the fundamentals of jurisprudence is one of the problems that Islamic thought has known in recent times due to its seriousness in terms of its contact with the origins of the legal discourse and its scientific foundations, the lack of clarity of vision, the statement of perception in the process of renewal in this area, and the scientific value of this science, which is the rationale for all of the Sharia. The confabulation about the term innovation in the fundamentals of jurisprudence is not in one way because the confabulation about it comes from three different sides. One of them comes from outside the Islamic system, and the other comes from within the Islamic system. This severs the link between science and the legal texts on one hand and the link between the culture of this nation’s predecessor and its successor on the other. Another group in exchange for these deny and reject any renewal, in order to preserve the Sharia, and in response to their actions. The third group are the reformists because their work and effort is what informs us of their beliefs and ideas, and thus their position status.
