The presentation aims to discuss the methodology of collective reasoning (ijtihad) activity in the face of contemporary jurisprudential issues in the Islamic world. It will first provide theoretical information on collective ijtihad, and contemporary fiqh problems, before moving on to examine the decisions of ‘The International Islamic Fiqh Academy’ (IIFA), which is considered the most influential institution of collective ijtihad in the Islamic world.
