Nuansa Fiqh Sosial KH. MA. Sahal Mahfudh

Abstract

Most religious studies (read: how to conduct the fiqh) is dominated by the tendency of theory-centric. As a result, in the social context, the doctrine contained in the fiqh
has not often been seen in the direction of the practical forms of life. Therefore, in accordance with the nature and process of ijtihad, changes the perspective of
jurisprudence; hence, it becomes more realistic and dynamic, is possible and necessary. Thus, fiqh can be optimized and actualized as the values and behavior in
social life which continues to develop. According to the cleric Mahfud, there have to be spirit to change the paradigm of the paradigm on how to do the fiqh from "truth
orthodoxy" towards paradigm of "social meaning," If the first deals with reality on truth and the character fiqh is "black and white" in facing the reality, the second
uses jurisprudence as a "counter discourses" and demonstrates a meaningful character.
