LEGAL STATUS OF QATH'I AND ZANNI IN USHUL FIQH METHODS

Abstract

This article examines the concepts of qath'i and zanni in Ushul Fiqh by referring to classical and contemporary Ushul Fiqh writings. By getting to know the concepts of qath'i and zanni, you will be able to understand the various differences of opinion of ulama in the right way. Does the difference of opinion occur on the issue of zanni which is permitted in Islamic law, or does the difference violate the provisions of the qath'i texts which no longer justify carrying out takwil? This study of the concepts of qath'i and zanni has led to the understanding that qath'i only covers the issues of the principles of shari'a known as al-tsabat which is the principle of unification of thought and tasyri' for Muslims, and will never change. despite changes in time, place and circumstances. Meanwhile, zanni is only focused on khilafiyah issues known as al-murunah which is a place for developing thought and progress to revive ijtihad which adheres to the rules contained in Ushul Fiqh.
