ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RESEARCH MODELS IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE

Objective: The primary issue in this research lies in the disparity between traditional fiqh research methodologies and the intricate nature of contemporary dilemmas. Normative-textual approaches often lack the flexibility required to tackle emerging issues like fintech and bioethics. Conversely, contextual approaches, such as socio-historical and thematic-contemporary methods, risk clouding the authenticity of texts unless meticulously balanced. Method: This research primarily comprises library research, employing a qualitative content analysis technique within an interpretive-critical framework. Results: The findings indicate: 1) The normative-textual fiqh research model centers on scrutinizing sacred texts (the Qur'an and Hadith) and the viewpoints of classical scholars found in ancient texts. This deductive research formulates laws for novel issues based on existing evidence, employing the method of gathering all relevant evidence (istiqra') and selecting the most robust (tarjih). 2) The socio-historical fiqh research model views Islamic law as a product shaped by societal and historical forces. This model not only examines the legal aspects but also delves into the socio-political context and circumstances that underpin them. It incorporates the perspective of maqashid shari'ah (the objectives of Islamic law) to reinterpret and reconstruct the fiqh understanding. 3) The thematic-contemporary fiqh research model, tailored to address intricate contemporary issues like the digital economy, concentrates on a central theme and explores it comprehensively from various fiqh perspectives. Novelty: The outcomes of this research are implemented by adopting a complementary-integrative approach in all Islamic legal research endeavors. For instance, in the realm of sharia-compliant fintech, the exploration typically commences with a normative-textual model to unveil the fundamental muamalah principles, followed by an analysis of the socio-historical backdrop, ultimately involving relevant specialists for a thorough examination.
