Abstract

Ijtihad is an important mechanism in sharia especially in solving or tackling new issues or problems confronting the Islamic society or community. The ambiguity of ijtihad parameters can cause myopic understandings or misinterpretations towards the flexibility and concreteness of Sariah in tackling current issues faced by Islamic community.  Hence, this article presents a few ijtihad parameters in determining certain Sariah law.  This research basically employed the descriptive qualitative approach.  Data were being collected based on content analysis of referred book or kitab in Islamic studies especially those related to fiqh and usul fiqh.  Those data were then analysed through the inductive and deductive method to answer the research questions. The detailed analysis performed in this study concluded that every hukum determined by the fuqaha is based on specific parameters in order to ensure its authenticity and reliability.  This research also discussed a few ijtihad parameters that were always adopted and used by fuqaha in determining hukum
