Abstract
This article discusses the thought color and methods of ijtihad of Ibn Taymiyyah, one of the most influential figures in the movement of of Islamic thought renewal. He raised a number of criticisms of the logician. The arguments he used indicated that he is a thinker of empiricism. This empiricism complexion coloring intellectual works in various fields. In the field of fiqh, in the beginning he was a follower of the school of Hanbaliyah, however, in further development he performed ijtihad independently without being tied down by other schools. That is why Ibn Taymiyya was known as a mujtahid mutlaq. Although in performing ijtihad he remains grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah as well as admits the ijmâ’ and qiyâs as a source of Islamic law, his thoughts are often different from other scholars of his time, both on the aspect of methodology and the results of his ijtihad.
