MUTHLAQ DAN MUQAYYAD
Abstract
In the study of ushul fiqh, the terms muthlaq and muqayyad are used, and both are used in different elements of Islamic law. If muqayyad is a phrase with certain limitations, muthlaq is a broad term without any restrictions. When evaluating Islamic law, it is imperative to have a thorough understanding of these two ideas, especially when examining the sharia writings included in the Qur'an and Hadith. The contrast between muthlaq and muqayyad, as well as how classical and modern scholars interpret and use these two ideas, is the main subject of this study. The research utilizes both classical and contemporary literature and employs a descriptive-analytical method with a qualitative approach. The findings show the importance of muthlaq and muqayyad in the development of sharia law, especially in balancing various scriptures that at first glance appear to contradict each other. In addition, some examples of the application of muthlaq and muqayyad in contemporary fatwas and ijtihad show how Islamic law is applied dynamically according to the conditions of the time. Thus, a thorough understanding of muthlaq and muqayyad is essential for the advancement of the science of fiqh and the adaptability of Islamic law to changing social and cultural contexts.
