Reconstruction of the Theoretical Foundations of Abaziyah Jurisprudence in the Contemporary Period

All religious denominations need to be reconstructed and renewed in order to survive. In order to reconstruct their denomination, Abaziyah embarked upon a reconstruction and reestablishment of the theoretical foundations of their jurisprudence (fiqh) so as to survive as an Islamic denomination and increasingly develop and grow. Such an approach is followed by contemporary Abaziyah within nine pivots, the most important of which include: reconstruction of materials and sources of jurisprudence, engagement in comparative studies, dynamicization of purpose-based jurisprudence (al-fiqh al-maqasidiyyah), formation of new jurisprudential research, and reconstruction of the schema of jurisprudence. Abaziyah jurisprudence has undergone six stages, the contemporary period being of particular importance. Since the reconstruction and facilitation of jurisprudence has been particularly taken into account, this paper tackles the reconstruction of the theoretical foundations of Abaziyah jurisprudence with a descriptive-analytic approach and the library research method.
