INTRODUCTION, NEED, AND SIGNIFICANCE OF FIQH AL-HADITH: A RESEARCH STUDY
Keywords:
Intorduction, Need, Significance, Muhaddithīn, Fiqh al-HadithAbstract
The study explores the discipline of Fiqh al-Hadith—the understanding, interpretation, and legal inference derived from the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Positioned as one of the most significant branches of Islamic sciences, Fiqh al-Hadith serves as a bridge between the transmitted texts of Hadith and their practical jurisprudential application. This research defines the linguistic and technical meanings of Fiqh and Hadith, highlighting how scholars such as Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, al-Tibi, al-Nawawi, and al-Suyuti viewed the comprehensive role of Fiqh al-Hadith in deriving rulings and understanding divine intent. The paper emphasizes the indispensable role of this discipline in ensuring proper understanding of Prophetic traditions, preventing misinterpretation, and resolving apparent contradictions among Hadiths. Moreover, in the modern context—facing issues like finance, bioethics, and digital transformation—Fiqh al-Hadith provides methodological insight for Islamic legal reasoning and social reform. Ultimately, it concludes that mastering Fiqh al-Hadith safeguards the Ummah from sectarianism and intellectual deviation, enabling unity, moderation, and practical implementation of the Sunnah in contemporary life.
