Abstract
The change that takes place in a society over time is a significant situation that demonstrates the flexibility of the Islamic law. According to Islamic scholars, apart from the development or evolution of the way of life, the deterioration of the society’s values and morality over time is also taken into consideration in establishing laws. Although the world has undergone tremendous growth and physical development, yet the moral values of the society is deteriorating, which results in some Islamic laws to be changed. This phenomenon has triggered the question regarding the status of fasad al-zaman in changing the Islamic law. This study therefore aims to identify the role of fasad al-zaman in changing the Islamic law, whether it is the main or secondary proposition. Besides that, this paper also analyzes some examples for its consideration in the Islamic law during the period of the companions as discussed by Islamic scholars. This qualitative study applies the content analysis approach and descriptive method. The findings suggest that the consideration for the deterioration of the society’s values and morality over time has been emphasized by scholars in determining any law although it might just be a secondary proposition.
