A Critical Study of The Reformation of Sharīʿah Education in the Book: ʿUlūm al-Sharʿ wa al-ʿUlūm al-Ijtimāʿiyyah - Naḥwa Tajāwuz al-Qaṭʿiyyah

Abstract

This paper aims to identify the reformative solutions that the book proposes regarding Islamic jurisprudence and its principles along with its critical study to check whether they are appropriate for these two social sciences and feasible to solve the issues related to teaching these two disciplines. Many constructive and reformative attempts have emerged in this regard and the said book is a significant effort among these attempts. I have adopted in this research work the descriptive-analytical and critical methodology to tackle the aspects of reforming the teaching of jurisprudence and its principles. The paper begins by defining the book under review providing a biography it’s the author. Then, it presents the different issues faced in teaching Shari’ah as mentioned in the book. This was followed by stating the approaches proposed in the reviewed book toward reformation likewise commenting on them. The paper concluded that the three approaches proposed in the book are not very new and that the suggestion of linking them to social sciences is the actual reformative solution presented. It is also determined that these solutions do not address all the issues faced in the teaching of Shari’ah, but they solve the issue of the distantness of jurisprudence and its principles from reality and its issues, by making fatwas and Shari’ah teachings address and correct reality۔
