Abstract

The Role of Eclecticism in Contemporary Fatwa: A Study of Fatwa of AAOIFI about Islamic Finance

Eclecticism has emerged as a popular method of fatwa and legal reasoning in the contemporary Islamic finance. International Fiqh Academy, Shariah Board of Accounting and Auditing organization of Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and many other fiqh councils heavily rely in their religious verdicts on this methodology. The method of Eclecticism suggests that Islamic financial institutions in their fatwa and verdicts should not be confined to the particular school. They should rather, freely move between schools, benefit from them and choose from variant contesting viewpoints the one which is more close to the spirit of Shariah, serves best the interest of public and provides case and facility to the people. Accounting and auditing organization of Islamic Financial Institution (AAOIFI) has especially employed this methodology and have developed our 48 Shariah standards where almost all schools and their juristic opinions in the field of commercial transactions have been consulted. The paper has examined this methodology in the light of Qur’an, Sunnah and classical juristic literature and has established that eclecticism followed in Islamic finical institutions does not violate any principle of Shairah. It argues that this methodology should be widely used in codification of law modern legislations in Muslim countries.
