HISTORY OF MIND MAZHAB FIQH IMAM SYAFI'I

Abstract

Imam Shafi'I (150-204 AH) is an important figure in the history of Islamic thought, especially Arab thought. He is one of the Ulama who founded "moderatism", which by many is regarded as the most important characteristic of the Arab-Islamic experience in history. Moderatism is the shelter of "authenticity" which the Arab-Islamic society defends in its battle against the enemy that seeks to destroy.
Fiqh Imam Shafi'i centered on four sources, namely al-Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma ', and Qiyas. Sunnah's legality is based on the Qur'an and the arguments derived from its express and implied meanings. In his books there is law enforcement as a source of law which is an obsession of his thought agenda, even the most basic. Therefore, he received the title of nashir as-Sunnah (defender of tradition).
In addition to the Qur'an and as-Sunnah which form a semantic organic structure, Imam Shafi'i constructed the Ijma 'on the basis of that structure until it became a tasyri text' which gained significance from the notion of a text composed of the Qur'an and -Sunnah. Likewise in qiyas, in the source of the law is taken from the text composed of the three previous bases.
