Objective: The issue of this research is the absence of comprehensive study on fiqh thought by Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqy in the socio-historical context of Indonesia. Many of his ideas are also theorized somewhat partly without intertwining with maqashid syariah and the contemporary issues. This has created a void for those who wish to find modern application in his thought on issues such as gender and social justice. Method: This research is based on a library approach. The primary data in this research is found in the books written by Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqy and other works that contain his fiqh thought.

Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqy's thoughts' fiqh on methodology Fiqh thought Hasbi uses ijtihad pattern approach of maqashid asy-syari'ah, combining aqliyah-ma'dumiyyah-historiyyat social dynamics. He stressed that rationality and context was to be incorporated when interpreting Islamic law so that it would become feasible and practical in Indonesia. 3). The relevance of the thought and contribution of Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqy within the fiqh in Indonesia is that through his thinking it enriches an elastic and contextual repository by Indonesian’s jurisprudence which can be put forth as a means to regulate shari’a In accordance with modern, pluralist society.  Novelty: This research explores the socio-historical context of Hasbi Ash-Shiddiqy's fiqh thought and emphasizes the integration of maqashid syariah and contemporary issues such as gender and social justice, filling the gap for modern applications of his ideas in Indonesia.
