Abstract: The study of fiqh science (Islamic Jurisprudence) occupies an important position in Islam, because Islamic teachings can be implemented with guidance from fiqh science. The study of the science of fiqh continues to experience significant developments, especially in reviewing its epistemology. For this reason, this research aims to discuss the science of jurisprudence from an epistemological perspective, by exploring its epistemological sources and exploring the principles of justice, social benefit (goodness), ethical and adaptive values that can be applied in society. This research is designed to explain the science of Fiqh from an epistemological perspective which focuses on the sources of Fiqh law, methods and principles of legal exploration. To find the answer to this problem, this research uses the library research method with content analysis as the scalpel. From the use of this method, the conclusion was found that from an epistemological point of view, Fiqh Science is a science that provides normative details about Sharia laws, which originate from the Qur'an, Hadith, Ijma', and Qiyas, which are explored through the process of ijtihad (serious effort) in giving birth to the law. The process of excavating (istinbath) of Fiqh law continues to explore the meaning of revelation, by involving reason and logic in interpreting religious texts. This research also found that the science of Fiqh is dynamic and constructive, adapting to current developments without ignoring the basic principles of Islamic teachings.
