Abstract

Al-Fākihānī, a 14th-century Mālikī scholar from Alexandria, holds a significant place in the history of Islamic jurisprudence for his work, Riyāḍ al-Afhām fī Sharḥ ʿUmdat al-Aḥkām. This work not only represents a commentary on legal hadiths but also showcases the architecture of Mālikī legal reasoning, which interconnects textual authority, the theory of uṣūl al-fiqh, and the formation of applied jurisprudential norms. Diverging from previous studies that tend to position al-Fākihānī merely as a hadith commentator or a passive transmitter of school doctrine, this study offers a distinct perspective by reading him as an epistemic actor who reconstructs the relationship between legal theory and jurisprudential practice through mechanisms of intra-school ijtihād, tarjīḥ, internal critique and the principle of murāʿāt al-khilāf. Utilizing a qualitative library-based method and a textual-legal analytical approach toward Riyāḍ al-Afhām and Mālikī jurisprudential literature, this study finds that al-Fākihānī does not merely reproduce school authority. Instead, he actively selects, tests, and validates legal opinions by combining textual evidence, rational argumentation, and an awareness of the plurality of legal opinions. The primary merit of this research lies in its ability to demonstrate that murāʿāt al-khilāf, which is frequently positioned as a secondary principle, functions precisely as a crucial methodological instrument in maintaining the flexibility, coherence and adaptive capacity of Mālikī law. These findings offer a conceptual contribution to global Islamic legal studies by challenging the assumption that classical jurisprudence is static and imitative; conversely, the Mālikī tradition demonstrates internal mechanisms for critique, negotiation and legal renewal. Consequently, this study shapes the development of contemporary discourses on the codification of Islamic law, school pluralism, and the reconstruction of Islamic legal epistemology rooted in the classical tradition, which remain relevant to the problems of modern legal normativity.

Abstract

This study examines the reconstruction of Islamic legal reasoning toward halal regulation in a secular Muslim-minority state, analyzing Australia's regulatory framework (the Export Control Act 2020, Australian Standard AS 4696:2023) alongside fatwas and institutional guidelines issued by SICHMA, ICCV, ANIC, and AFIC between 2013 and 2024, through a doctrinal-analytical approach. Analysis of these regulatory documents and fatwas shows that the Islamic legal bodies examined have consistently responded to secular regulatory pressure reactively, without developing a coherent maqāṣid al-sharī’ah-based framework of reasoning, as evidenced by ANIC and AFIC's divergent positions on controlled atmospheric stunning in 2023. This pattern produces three institutional consequences, identifiable from the same data: communal confusion in the face of inconsistent certification, fragmentation of religious identity, and the erosion of the legitimacy of Islamic legal authority. Building on this analysis, the study proposes the Contextual Halal Legal Navigation Model (CHLNM), a maqāṣid al-sharī’ah-grounded framework integrating textual foundation, contextual awareness, maqāṣid orientation, and educational internalization, as a legal-theoretical contribution that repositions Islamic law not as a mechanism of administrative compliance but as an adaptive process of ethical formation responsive to secular regulatory contexts.
