التخريج الأصولي: دراسة تأصيلية تطبيقية

Abstract

The study of takhrij (retrieval) is one of the most important mechanisms in ijtihad (independent reasoning) by fuqaha’ (jurists) and usuli (lit. those who go back to first principles). In usul (principles) and furu’ (branches) of Islamic law, the usulis were deliberately referring to madhab (school of law) founders especially after the decrease of mujtahids who managed to attain a level of independence and able to deal with detailed evidences in finding solutions to legal problem. Among the attention of takhrij of usuli is to expound legal maxim principles from fundamental sources the Quran and hadith contained of principle of legal reasoning and branches of Islamic jurisprudence. Utilizing descriptive analytical method, this article scrutinizes the concept of takhrij of usuli, its categories and some of its applications. The research found that the takhrij of usuli is concerned with the derivation of Islamic legal maxims, the principles of legal reasoning as well as the branches of law. However, the derivation is unconcerned about specific evidence of Islamic jurisprudence topics but the whole evidence whether literal, divergence or conformity of ibadat (submissive obedience), mu’amalat (transactions), and personal interest topic.
