Abstract
This article examines Jasser Auda's maqaṣid approach to studying hadith and its implications for the renewal of Islamic law. Generally speaking, one way to better understand the purpose of the hadīth is through contextualizing the Prophetic narrations (hadīth), primarily when the scripture cannot be understood textually. Using a descriptive-analytic and critical approach, this study showed that the conception of Auda’s maqāṣid could solve the problem. First, in these terms, Auda offers a way of reading the scripture based on the intent in applying Islamic law and its implications when maqāṣid is a primary consideration in reading and applying the law. Second, the theoretical approach as a result of Auda's academic research is the validation of several ijtihad methodologies which will practically produce the Anthropocentric Maqāṣid, namely the Maqāṣid model considering the development of world governance thinking within the framework of nation-states on the one hand, and making human values such as freedom, equality, justice, democracy as a source of maṣlaḥah on the other. The logical consequence of this Anthropocentric Maqāṣid idea necessitates drawing legal conclusions (istinbath al-ahkam) based on maṣlaḥah, no longer on the text.
