This article investigates the practice of drawing on other schools of Islamic law (madhāhib) in the context of contemporary fatwā, treating it as an ijtihād-based orientation aimed at addressing unprecedented issues arising from the rapid transformations of the modern world. The study is guided by a binary methodological framework and is organized into an introduction, two main sections, and a conclusion. The first section examines the conceptual framework of inter-madhhab borrowing, while the second presents selected examples of its application in contemporary juristic practice. The study concludes that drawing on other madhāhib does not signify a rupture with one’s own madhhab affiliation; rather, it reflects an expansion of the horizons of juristic reasoning. It further argues that this orientation has recognized roots in the classical fiqh tradition and has become increasingly necessary in relation to contemporary issues marked by complexity and composite structures. The study emphasizes that the effectiveness of this process depends on maintaining a balance between fidelity to the foundational principles of one’s own madhhab and a disciplined openness to other schools of law.
