Abstract
<p>Fiqh Nusantara which is relevant to Indonesian Muslims is Fiqh that is suitable for the personality and character of the Indonesian people so that it can meet their needs. The importance of taking Fiqh stipulations from the results of Ijtihad that is more in line with the needs of the Nusantara community makes Fiqh not rigid in applying it. Fiqh Nusantara exists to revive the Fiqh so that it can participate in shaping the directions and movements of Indonesian people’s lives. This article aims at analyzing the reconstruction of Fiqh Nusantara, by developing the methodology of Ijtihad (Process of legal reasoning in rationalizing law based on the Qur’an and Sunnah) to formulate Fiqh (Islamic law) that is compatible with Indonesian people. The research used qualitative methods with juridical-sociological approaches. The result of this research shows that Fiqh Nusantara evolves along with the introduction of Islam in Indonesia which is known as Nusantara at that time. The reconstruction of the Fiqh Nusantara is done by reinterpreting the Shara theorem contained in traditional Fiqh, by reading the conditions of the community to realize the objectives of Islamic law, while referring to the Mazhab (school of thought) and Ijtihad as an effort to solve problems that occur in Indonesia by considering local wisdom, traditions, or customs.</p>
Highlights
Islam was not present in a vacuum world, but rather in communities with a certain historical, cultural and intellectual background
Not established detailly in al-Qur’an and Sunnah? Is Fiqh Nusantara accommodative towards local wisdom that lives at the center of the social reality of Nusantara people itself? How does Fiqh Nusantara respond to environmental problems and natural resources in Indonesia that are exploited more and more by capitalists? All those questions are relevant to strengthen the existence of Fiqh Nusantara
Considering it, the urgency of the study about Fiqh Nusantara lies, especially when it is correlated to the spirit to develop Fiqh that is suitable to Indonesian people
Summary

The existence of Fiqh Nusantara is vital in responding to religious life in Indonesia This Fiqh is suitable and can satisfy the Indonesian people’s needs. Considering it, the urgency of the study about Fiqh Nusantara lies, especially when it is correlated to the spirit to develop Fiqh that is suitable to Indonesian people. Their studies are still general and normative, the study of the reconstruction of the Fiqh Nusantara is important for formulating fiqh that can be applied in Indonesia. If it is analyzed and linked to the development of the Islam Nusantara, it can be stated that the rituals carried out by the Indonesian people contain high cultural values. The religious practices they carried out reflected the religious patterns of the Fiqh Nusantara
