Abstract
The article reviews and analyses the ideas of one of the most influential contemporary Islamic scholars, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi (born 1926). The main areas of his work are being mapped out. The paper also investigates Al-Qaradawi’s pioneering ideas in the field of fiqh, and takes note of pragmatic and contextual nature of his legal theory. The scope of the article also includes critical characterisation of the most problematic aspects of Al-Qaradawi’s work. Inner dynamic character of his thought is being particarly highlighted. The author comes to conclusion that a number of conсeptions authored by Al-Qaradawi possess an enduring significance for any adherent of Islam, including those critical of some specific views presented by Egyptian thinker. Those conceptions concern Islamic solidarity, tolerance to minor divergences of opinion, facilitation of religion.
