Abstract

Hadith constitutes a foundational source in Islamic intellectual tradition, shaping both legal reasoning and theological articulation alongside the Qur’an. Ongoing debates concerning authenticity, interpretation, and contemporary relevance highlight the need for a comprehensive re-examination of its role within evolving socio-legal contexts. This study aims to analyze how Hadith functions as a normative and interpretive framework in the formation of Islamic legal and theological systems. A qualitative interpretive design was employed, integrating isn?d analysis, thematic textual examination, and comparative study of major legal and theological schools, supported by contemporary scholarly discourse. Results indicate that Hadith operates as a multidimensional source that informs detailed legal rulings and doctrinal positions, with methodological diversity across schools enabling both continuity and adaptability. Findings further reveal that context-sensitive interpretations enhance the applicability of Hadith in addressing modern issues, while text-oriented approaches provide structural stability. This study concludes that Hadith remains a dynamic and authoritative source, bridging revelation and interpretation, and offering a flexible yet coherent framework for the development of Islamic legal and theological thought in both classical and contemporary contexts.
