Let The Quran Speak -
Sheikh Slimi answers the question of whether IJTIHAD can be done in our day (meaning in today's context). Ijtihad is making an independent judgement based upon authentic sources in Islam.
Sheikh Hamid Slimi was the current Imam IMO in Toronto, Canada. He is also the director of the Faith of Life network (www.faithoflife.net).
Segment aired on October 25, 2008 on Vision TV
Speaker: Abu Ismael
Lecture delivered to students of knowledge on the basic understanding of Ijtihad, an Islamic juristic process used to solve novel problems in any society in any time.
This gives Islam the potential and capacity to address and solve any problem at all times. Through Ijtihad, the Mujtahid is able relate the text to the issue at hand. Ijtihad is defined as exerting one's utmost effort to extract rules from its legislative sources. From this definition, it is clear that the scholars would be able to extract rules for new problems. The process of Ijtihad is defined by specific rules, some of which are:
The Mujtahid has to restrict his references to the legislative sources (Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma' as Sahabah, Qiyas) and cannot practice ijtihad without defining legislative sources.
The process itself must adhere to a specific methodology.
The Mujtahid has to acquire specific knowledge that enables him to understand the text. For example, a good command of the Arabic language, Hadeeth, Tafseer, etc.
The Mujtahid has to understand the issue for which the applicable rule is being sought.
These requirements are needed for Ijtihad because the purpose of Ijtihad is to understand the issue and apply the Hukm Shar'ii. If this process is misunderstood, the Mujtahid may mix his personal opinion with the Hukm Shar'ii. This effort would not be the product of Hukm Shar'ii, but rather manmade law.
Therefore, Ijtihad is defined as the mechanism by which the Hukm Shar'ii is reached at and is not a source. From this understanding, the meaning of ijtihad and its crucial role becomes clear. The closing of the door of ijtihad contributed significantly to the decline that happened in the Muslim Ummah. Thus, the door of ijtihad has to be reopened as part of the effort to revive the Ummah.

Introduction: Why this video? With Akmal Safwat and John L. Esposito
###
This educational DVD is accompanied by a Teacher's Guide. Please visit our website to download: www.mpvusa.org
Ijtihad -- which means critical thinking in Arabic -- is a
collection of nine voices ‐ three from the UK and six from
the US ‐ a mixture of academics and activists. The topics
cover reform and revival based on considerations of justice
and human rights. Subordinate to that fundamental concept
are: identity (Who is a "real Muslim?" Who gets to decide?);
pluralism and tolerance; women's rights, shari'a as a code of
conduct for good behaviour; justice and fair treatment under
law; and capital punishment. Under women's rights is a frank
discussion about sex, an examination of veiling and the right to
gender equality. Under the rubric of tolerance and pluralism is
a discussion of LGBT culture and how one Los Angeles based
organization, Muslims for Progressive Values, welcomes gays
at their mosque. A discussion of separation of church and state
reinforces the idea that faith means nothing when it is
coerced.
The British voices are Tehmina Kazi from British Muslims for
Secular Democracy; Taj Hargey from the Muslim Educational
Center of Oxford; and Shelina Janohammed, journalist and
marketing professional. The American voices are Shahnaz
Taplin Chinoy, founder and Director of Invest in Muslim
Women; Ani Zonneveld, co‐founder and Director of Muslims
for Progressive Values; Reza Aslan, writer, public intellectual
and historian of religion; Abdullahi Ahmed An‐Na'im,
professor of law and human rights expert; Asra Nomani,
journalist and activist; and Egyptian commentator and
journalist, Mona Eltahawy who took American citizenship in
2010. The introduction includes commentary from
Georgetown University scholar, John L. Esposito and Egyptian‐
Danish physician, Akmal Safwat from Democratic Muslims of
Denmark.

Ijtihad
Ijtihad (Arabic: اجتهاد ijtihād, "diligence") is an Islamic legal term that means "independent reasoning" or "the utmost effort an individual can put forth in an activity." It is recognized as the decision-making process in Islamic law (sharia) through personal effort (jihad) which is completely independent of any school (madhhab) of jurisprudence (fiqh). As opposed to taqlid, it requires a "thorough knowledge of theology, revealed texts and legal theory (usul al-fiqh); an exceptional capacity for legal reasoning; thorough knowledge of Arabic." By using both the Qu'ran and Hadith as resources, the scholar is required to carefully rely on analogical reasoning to find a solution to a legal problem, which is considered to be a religious duty for those qualified to conduct it. Thus, a mujtahid is recognized as an Islamic scholar who is competent in interpreting sharia by ijtihad. Today, there are many different opinions surrounding the role of ijtihad in modern society.

Speaker: Abu Ismael
Lecture delivered to students of knowledge on the basic understanding of Ijtihad, an Islamic juristic process used to solve novel problems in any society in any time.
This gives Islam the potential and capacity to address and solve any problem at all times. Through Ijtihad, the Mujtahid is able relate the text to the issue at hand. Ijtihad is defined as exerting one's utmost effort to extract rules from its legislative sources. From this definition, it is clear that the scholars would be able to extract rules for new problems. The process of Ijtihad is defined by specific rules, some of which are:
The Mujtahid has to restrict his references to the legislative sources (Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma' as Sahabah, Qiyas) and cannot practice ijtihad without defining legislative sources.
The process itself must adhere to a specific methodology.
The Mujtahid has to acquire specific knowledge that enables him to understand the text. For example, a good command of the Arabic language, Hadeeth, Tafseer, etc.
The Mujtahid has to understand the issue for which the applicable rule is being sought.
These requirements are needed for Ijtihad because the purpose of Ijtihad is to understand the issue and apply the Hukm Shar'ii. If this process is misunderstood, the Mujtahid may mix his personal opinion with the Hukm Shar'ii. This effort would not be the product of Hukm Shar'ii, but rather manmade law.
Therefore, Ijtihad is defined as the mechanism by which the Hukm Shar'ii is reached at and is not a source. From this understanding, the meaning of ijtihad and its crucial role becomes clear. The closing of the door of ijtihad contributed significantly to the decline that happened in the Muslim Ummah. Thus, the door of ijtihad has to be reopened as part of the effort to revive the Ummah.

Ijtihad -- which means critical thinking in Arabic -- is a
collection of nine voices ‐ three from the UK and six from
the US ‐ a mixture of academics and activists. The topics
cover reform and revival based on considerations of justice
and human rights. Subordinate to that fundamental concept
are: identity (Who is a "real Muslim?" Who gets to decide?);
pluralism and tolerance; women's rights, shari'a as a code of
conduct for good behaviour; justice and fair treatment under
law; and capital punishment. Under women's rights is a frank
discussion about sex, an examination of veiling and the right to
gender equality. Under the rubric of tolerance and pluralism is
a discussion of LGBT culture and how one Los Angeles based
organization, Muslims for Progressive Values, welcomes gays
at their mosque. A discussion of separation of church and state
reinforces the idea that faith means nothing when it is
coerced.
The British voices are Tehmina Kazi from British Muslims for
Secular Democracy; Taj Hargey from the Muslim Educational
Center of Oxford; and Shelina Janohammed, journalist and
marketing professional. The American voices are Shahnaz
Taplin Chinoy, founder and Director of Invest in Muslim
Women; Ani Zonneveld, co‐founder and Director of Muslims
for Progressive Values; Reza Aslan, writer, public intellectual
and historian of religion; Abdullahi Ahmed An‐Na'im,
professor of law and human rights expert; Asra Nomani,
journalist and activist; and Egyptian commentator and
journalist, Mona Eltahawy who took American citizenship in
2010. The introduction includes commentary from
Georgetown University scholar, John L. Esposito and Egyptian‐
Danish physician, Akmal Safwat from Democratic Muslims of
Denmark.

In his second lecture to non-Muslim middle school and high school teachers, Murad moves on to the more outward manifestations of the Islamic tradition. He explains the sunnah as being the "backbone" of a Muslim's daily life and provides a brief and simple explanation of it's vital role in Islam. He then focuses the remainder of his time on the Islamic law, its various sources, and its history. And in closing, the speaker looks at a few case studies of the practice of ijtihad in the Muslim world. (Recorded at the Dar al Islam Teachers' Institute seminar). Other topics discussed: dua (supplication), Salman Rushdie, medhabs (schools of thought), tabacco and smoking, AIDS, abortion, contraception, and artificial insemination.
