<![CDATA[The diversity of legal opinions in the Shâfiâî school of thought (madhhab), in the form of old opinion (qawl qadîm) and new opinion (qawl jadîd) and the ijtihâd activities that pertained  to some centuries after the passing away of al-Shâfiâî, has brought this madhhab into encounter with serious problems in selecting the law. In such a situation, al-Râfiâî and al-Nawawî came into the fore as muharrir (selector) to cope with this uncertainty. This research tries to analyze all scientific activities of the two scholars using the theory of tarjîh. This research found out that they attempted to establish a legal certainty in the Shâfiâî school of law through the making of new mixed system of tarjîh to ensure which opinions deserve to be regarded as valid from the viewpoint of Shâfiâî madhhab. This achievement contributes to the enrichment of Shâfiâî madhhab as a legal school consisting of a great variety of legal opinions that equips itself with procedures of selection used as norms of everyday life.]]>
