In order to obtain a proper public interest in any matter, religious considerations alone are not sufficient, rather each matter must be considered from many different angles and disciplines such as sociology. the environment and politics. One should also take into consideration the fact that ijmac is not only an informal decision. a:; has the case after the Rasbidün caliphate period, but that it has become part of the legal system of govemment and as such demands obedience from everybody. Not surprisingly. CAbduh believed that ijmaC should be carried out and regulated by the elected members ofparliament. This thesis not only analyses the thoughts of Mul;1ammad cAbduh on this matter but also includes the thoughts of classical and medieval jurist, as weil li.;; the view of modern scholars such as Muhammad Iqbal, Kemal • A. Faruki. Fazlur Rahman. l;Iasan Turiibi. RÉSuMÉ • AUTEUR Khoiruddin Nasution TITRE : Le concept de l'ijma à l'époque moderne avec une attention particulière à la pensée de Mul)ammad 'Abduh. DEPARTEMENT : Institut des Etudes Islamique~, Université Mc Gill, Montréal. DIPLOME : Maîtrise en Arts Ce mémoire tente d expliqur l'appoache méthodologique de Mul)ammad 'Abduh au sein de la théorie légale islamique; plus particulièrement le concept de l'ijma'. Selon le théoricien, l'ijma' n'est pas une question reliée à l'idée du vrai et du fauz- telle que perçue par les juristes musulmans classiques at médiévaux- mais plutôt un mécanisme qui doit démontrer une capacité dynamique pauvant résoudre less problèmes contemporains selon l'intérêt public (m<l\>laI:ta). Pour obtenir cet intérêt de façon adéquate dans tous Jess cas, les considérations religieuses ne sont pas suffisantes, chaque question devant être considérée à partir de différents angles et tl'autres disciplines telles que la sociologie, l'environnement, la scinccs politique, etc. On do:t aussi prendre en considération que l'ijma' n est pas seulement usne réglement ation informelle, commece fur le cass a l'époque des Califes Rashidun mais aussi l'ijma' est une partie intégrante du système légal des gouvernements mudulmans et qui exige l'obéissance de tous. li n'est pas surprenant que Mul)ammad 'Abduh croyait que l'ijmii' était appliqué et réglementé par les membres élus du parlement Ainsi, non selement ce mémoire analyse le pensée de Mul)ammad 'Abduh concernant l'ijma' mais aussi l'opinion des juristes classiques et médiévaux de même que le point de vue dess intellectuels musulmans contemporains tels que Kemal A. Faruki, Hazairin, Hasbi ash-Shiddiquy, FaIzlur Rahman et l;Iasan Turabi. • • ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My special sincere gratitude goes to my thesis supervisor. professor Wael B.
