The fragmentation of effort in the modern age

Authorship / Haleem Marzaki The scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, spoke in this issue intending that the mujtahid is not required to have complete knowledge of all sciences, nor even of all issues within a single science to perform ijtihad in it. The researcher understood the meaning of ijtihad, and explained the evidence for its legitimacy and its categories. In the first chapter, he discussed the basic principles of ijtihad, the scope and ruling of ijtihad, and the levels of ijtihad among different schools of thought, ending this chapter with the issue of: correctness and error in ijtihad. In the second chapter, he talked about the rulings on the fragmentation of ijtihad and its various forms, citing the sayings of scholars with their preference, then discussed the criteria for partial ijtihad and its correct approach today, and the dangers that threaten it. In the third chapter, he discussed the most important applications of partial ijtihad today and its various fields, providing detailed and realistic examples representing the fields of partial ijtihad in our modern era from Islamic jurisprudence councils, economic institutions, and others, and presented a kind of ijtihad in some contemporary issues.
