Abstract
Veteran experts of Islam have used the fundamental
sources of Islam comprehensively employing the notion of
Ijtihad that has led to the accumulation of literature of
Shariah which has guided humanity in all ages mainly to
find the solution to their problems. Various Ijtihad-based
efforts resulted in the emergence of four renowned schools
of fiqh (i.e. Hanafi, Shafa’e, Maliki and Hanbali).
However, the Ulama (experts) who followed these four
schools have restricted themselves in general matters to
only one of them. On the contrary, an international/ global
trend is emerging which considers that holding allegiance
to only one school of thought deprived us of the knowledge of expertise of the other schools. Therefore, it is necessary
that a Mufti should not restrict himself to only one school
of thought rather he should benefit from other schools too.
On this issue, the distinguished expert and jurist, Mufti
Taqi Usmani holds a significant view point that needs to
be analyzed in this paper. As he has a great influence in
the country (Pakistan); therefore, the paper is focused to
review the approaches adopted by him towards
consultation of other schools of thoughts in issuing fatwas
(Islamic legal pronouncement or ruling). The objective of
this paper is to find practicable solution to contemporary
application of the classic schools of Islamic jurisprudence.
