Abstract:

This research examines the interaction between linguistic and legal objectives and their impact on the derivation of legal rulings. It highlights the importance of the Arabic language in understanding religious texts, as it is the linguistic vessel in which revelation was revealed and the primary medium for comprehending its meanings and implications. The research also clarifies the role of legal objectives in guiding legal reasoning in a way that serves the goals and objectives of Islamic law. The study demonstrates that the interaction between semantic understanding of texts and awareness of legal objectives constitutes a fundamental pillar in the process of ijtihad (independent reasoning). Through theoretical analysis and applied models, it becomes clear that linguistic objectives are the primary entry point for understanding religious texts and grasping their implications in their various contexts. Meanwhile, legal objectives provide the methodological framework that governs and directs the process of ijtihad towards achieving the objectives of Islamic law. The research concludes with the importance of strengthening the integration between linguistic and legal objectives in contemporary jurisprudential methodologies to ensure a correct and balanced understanding of religious texts. This integration can enhance the ability of jurists to address important issues and enable them to... Deriving rulings that align with societal needs contributes to establishing social justice for the common good.
