Artificial Intelligence and Ijtihad(A Research Study in the Light of Islamic Teachings)

Abstract

The development in artificial intelligence technology has deepened its impact on various aspects of human life, including religious practices and jurisprudence. The traditional process of ijtihad involves human reasoning, deep context and moral discernment. The challenge is to assess the compatibility of artificial intelligence, a machine-driven technology, with the nuanced and multifaceted nature of ijtihad. The purpose of this research is to identify the main challenges and opportunities arising from the integration of artificial intelligence in the field of ijtihad and to suggest considerations for solving these problems. The main objective is to examine the compatibility of artificial intelligence with the critical and context-dependent nature of ijtihad as well as preserving the ethical and social dimensions within Islamic law. Addresses the need to redefine the role of technology, while maintaining the essential human elements of legal reasoning. To highlight the educational gap and technical literacy among Islamic scholars with important aspects that need attention to facilitate the harmonious integration of artificial intelligence in the field of ijtihad. Artificial intelligence expertise in Islamic jurisprudence, ethics and education. combines offers interesting advantages in increasing the efficiency of legal research and decision-making while emphasizing the importance of careful consideration to avoid compromising the core values and principles that define Islamic legal traditions. Ethical and social considerations in Islamic jurisprudence can be difficult for artificial intelligence systems. The problem lies in ensuring that the integration of artificial intelligence does not undermine the ethical principles that underpin legal reasoning and decision-making in Islamic law.
