Islamic law studies have encountered several contemporary issues. Islamic law is
expected to contribute toward current problems faced by modern society. Therefore,
ideally, studies of Islamic law should be developed through a transdisciplinary
approach. This should be carried out through the theocentric paradigm integration
framework and anthropocentric Islamic law. It is known that Islamic law initially came
from the revelation (Qur’an and hadith), and that it aims for the benefit of humans.
In its construction, Islamic law enforces the foundation of the principle of Tauhid and
is developed through humanism principles such as humanity, fairness, equality and
tolerance. From this perspective, the transdisciplinary approach should be taken into
account in the studies of Islamic law. This paper elaborates on the development
of contemporary Islamic law studies through a transdisciplinary approach from the
perspective of formal and material objects. The results affirmed that contemporary
Islamic law studies need to combine normative and empirical approaches, and textual
and contextual analysis based on maqasid al-syariah. To be relevant to the needs of
people and social issues, Islamic law should be integrated with other sciences. Only
with this method can Islamic law help to effectively and comprehensively solve social
problems and become a law that is rahmatan lilalamin
