The Sunni Muslim scholar, Mufti and preacher, Yūsuf al-Qaraḍāwī (b. 1926), is one of the most prominent Muslim figures and religious authorities in contemporary time. His legal opinions (fatwāwā sg. fatwā) count as an important reference point for questions of religious practice among many Arabic and European Muslims as well. The present article aims to present his views on tajdīd al-fiqh and shows the strategy he used to renew
the Islamic law. I am also interested in probing what is behind his endeavor of tajdīd al-fiqh.
