The article explores the multifaceted challenges of addressing modern issues within Islamic law (Sharia), emphasizing the dynamic interplay between tradition and contemporary societal demands. Islamic law, rooted in the Quran and Hadith, faces significant hurdles in adapting to rapid technological advancements, evolving gender norms, and globalization, which often create friction with traditional interpretations. The study highlights the necessity of innovative methodologies, such as *istinbāṭ al-ahkām* (legal reasoning) and *Qawāid Fiqhiyyah* (legal maxims), to reconcile Sharia principles with modern realities like cryptocurrency, digital governance, and social justice philanthropy. Case studies from Indonesia, Egypt, and Turkey illustrate efforts to reform Islamic legal frameworks, while socio-political factors, sectarian divisions, and the role of scholars in *ijtihad* (independent reasoning) are critically examined. The article underscores the importance of comparative jurisprudence, interdisciplinary dialogue, and inclusive reforms to ensure Islamic law remains relevant and equitable in a globalized world.
