<![CDATA[This article examines the transformation of normative foundations in Islamic economic law from the nash (the Qur’an and Sunnah) into more operational legal forms, namely fiqh, fatwa, and qanun, using an epistemological approach to Islamic law. The study highlights shifts in sources, authority, and methodology in the formulation of Islamic legal norms, as well as their implications for the validity and authenticity of sharīʿah-based norms in modern contexts. This research is a qualitative, library-based study employing normative-epistemological analysis. The findings indicate that this transformation reflects an epistemic shift from absolute revelation to interpretative and contextual legal constructions. Fiqh represents systematic reasoning based on nash through ijtihād, fatwa serves as a contextual response to contemporary societal issues grounded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, and qanun reflects the legal-institutional formalization of Islamic law within modern nation-state frameworks. While this transformation demonstrates the adaptability of Islamic law to evolving realities, it also poses the risk of normative dilution if its epistemological continuity is not carefully maintained. Therefore, a maqāṣid-based framework and collaborative engagement among scholars, academics, and regulators are essential to preserving the substantive spirit of sharīʿah within contemporary legal systems.]]>
