The Value (Hukm) of Ijtihad 1) Ijtihad becomes a personal obligation (wajib or fard `ayn) of the qualified mujtahid in urgent cases, that is, when there is fear that the cause of justice or truth may be lost if ijtihad is not immediately attempted.

The Value (Hukm) of Ijtihad 2) Ijtihad becomes a fard kafa'i when there is no urgency over ijtihad, or in the event where other mujtahids are available.
Copyright Reserved@2008 Mohd Zulkifli Muham 8
The Value (Hukm) of Ijtihad 3) Ijtihad is recommended (mandub) in all cases where no particular issue has been referred to the mujtahid, or when it is attempted in the absence of an issue by way of theoretical construction at the initiative of the jurist himself.
Copyright Reserved@2008 Mohd Zulkifli Muham 9
The Value (Hukm) of Ijtihad 4) Ijtihad is forbidden (haram) when it contradicts the decisive rules of the Qur'an, the Sunnah and a definite ijma'.
