means of social control of the social changes that are happening in the life of society, as well as social
engineering tools in realizing the benefits in the world and the hereafter and maintain human dignity as
a goal for the establishment of the law itself. Furthermore how is the ability of Islam in responding to
the growing demands of society in accordance with the times. So its ability to answer these challenges by
providing solutions to emerging social problems is a reality that is difficult to avoid, because people
need legal certainty as well as their rights both as individuals and communities need to get certainty as a
