Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century, influencing various fields including law, economics, education, and healthcare. Its application in Islamic law (fiqh) and jurisprudence (ushul al-fiqh) presents both promising opportunities and pressing challenges. This paper explores the potentials and limitations of AI in Islamic jurisprudence, focusing on its role as a supportive tool in legal reasoning and decision-making. Using a normative and literature-based method, the study finds that AI can enhance the accessibility of Islamic legal resources, assist in fatwa issuance through data analysis, and provide comparative insights across classical and contemporary jurisprudence. However, AI also has significant limitations: it lacks moral and spiritual agency, cannot grasp the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah (higher objectives of Islamic law), and risks misinterpretation if not supervised by qualified scholars. The study concludes that AI should not replace the role of mujtahid or Islamic jurists but should be positioned as a supplementary tool to strengthen research, facilitate knowledge dissemination, and support human scholars in responding to contemporary legal challenges.
