Clarification of Issues of Authority in Modern Islamic Law

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This research critically examines the evolving concept of authority within modern Islamic law, particularly in the context of globalization, digital transformation, and changing socio-political dynamics. Rooted in the classical sources of Sharia—namely the Qur’an, Hadith, Ijma (consensus), and Qiyas (analogy)—Islamic legal authority has historically been guided by the ulama (scholarly elite). However, contemporary developments have profoundly reconfigured the mechanisms through which legal authority is asserted and contested across Muslim-majority societies and global diasporas.
