Abstract

The article explores the linguistic as well as idiomatic definition of ijtihad which has been described by different lexicographers and Muslim jurists. Linguistically, ijtihad is derived from ''juhd'' and ''jahd'',."Juhd" means employing ones complete strength, and 'juhd' means hardship and difficulty. Regarding the literal meaning of ijtihad, there is no consensus among jurists. Some jurists believe that ijtihad means making effort and endeavor in order to achieve presumption (zann) regarding a hukm (law) of the Shariah. Another group of scholars defines ijtihad as an effort on the part of a faqih (jurists) for deriving the ahkam (Injunctions) of the Shariah. The writer has also discussed a comprehensive definition.
