| Summary: | This study conducted a systematic literature review on the fatwa-based research
design. The fatwa process seen can be utilized when building a research design
in Islamic-based research methods. There is yet to be a systematic literature
review conducted on existing studies regarding a research design based on the
fatwa process. Can the f atwa method be applied as an Islamic-based research
design? The objectives were to identify and analyse literature related to fatwa
and research designs in Islamic-based research by using the systematic
literature review method. Based on ROSES publication standards, three
databases, namely Scopus, Google Scholar and Dimensions, were chosen to
search for articles dating from 2014 to 2020. A total of 824 reference materials
containing the keywords ‘research design’, ‘research’ and ‘fatwa’ were found, but
only 10 were analysed after passing the quality appraisal process. This study
found three themes, namely Islamic research methods, research design elements
and the fatwa method. Construction of the fatwa-based research design is a new
branch of science still in its early stages and requires extensive research.
Therefore, this study suggests that the desired research design should rely on
Islamic tasawur and epistemology, which is based on the fatwa method and uses
the systematic literature review method.
