Abstract

The main problem in the development of Islamic law is the failure to distinguish between texts and interpretations, the strong atomistic and binary approaches. Instead of contributing to contemporary problems, he is trapped in polemics of right and wrong, causation, qath'i zhani, men and women; rejects the role of other sciences (science, social science, philosophy) in the development of Islamic law. Through a systems approach, Jasser Audah offers a more 'multidimensional' approach and a more 'whole' approach. The Audah system approach is in harmony with the objectives of Islamic law or realizing maqasid by maintaining openness, renewal, even the validity of ijtihad must be measured to what extent it realizes maqasid.
