However, the lack of ushul fiqh studies does not correlate with the formulation of fiqh of pesantren (Islamic boarding school) which is flexible, dynamic, and moderate. Whereas theoretically, the contextualization of fiqh requires sufficient understanding of ushul fiqh as a methodological tool. As a social fact, the aforementioned phenomena do not occur sporadically and independently, but are relational and interconnected. Therefore, this research makes Ma?had Aly (MA) Situbondo as the subject of study. MA Situbondo is not only the first Ma?had Aly but also the first pesantren that treats ushul fiqh as an operational review material and methodological tool. A re-actualization effort that can be observed in the production of fatwas and scholarly thoughts, as well as its involvement in study forums such as halaqah (a religious gathering or meeting for the study of Islam) and Bahtsul Masail (discussion forums between Islamic scholars, especially in pesantren affiliated with Nahdlatul Ulama). The dynamics emerging from this institution should not be perceived merely as a local phenomenon, but rather as a broader paradigm shift and epistemological transformation within pesantren. Based on the aforementioned background, this research aims to address three main issues: 1) How was the study, development, and authority of ushul fiqh formed in MA Situbondo? 2) Why and how does ushul fiqh play a role as Islamic reasoning in the context of transforming the system of school of thoughts through reformulating the method of establishing laws, in the production of fatwas and scholarly thoughts? 3) What is the relational meaning and function of ushul fiqh as the epistemological basis of pesantren science in the context of power relations, struggles for authority, and contestation of contemporary Islamic discourse? To answer these questions, there are three theoretical perspectives used, namely the theory of authority and critical hermeneutics of Khaled Abou el-Fadl, the theory of the discursive tradition of Talal Asad, and the theory of Genealogy by Michel Foucault. Data collection was carried out using document collection methods, interviews, and participatory observation. This research resulted in the following findings. First, MA Situbondo positions ushul fiqh as an important scientific discipline and becomes the main orientation in its educational curriculum. The authority of ushul fiqh at MA Situbondo is at least formed from four important factors, namely; 1) scholarly sanad (the chain of narrators of the hadith) that is symbolically connected to the scholarly network of scholars in Haramain; 2) the authoritative ushul fiqh texts studied, both classical and contemporary; 3) the ability to access those texts; and 4) production of works and thoughts in the fields of ushul fiqh and fiqh. Second, the authorization of ushul fiqh at the MA Situbondo is a form of institutionalization of the dynamics of progressive thought within the circle of pesantren and NU. Ushul fiqh serves as the Islamic reasoning in order to transform the tradition of the school of thought. Third, the discourse formulation produced by MA Situbondo can be summarized in the idea of wasatiyyat al-Islam (the value of moderation in Islam), characterized by its moderation, contextuality, and substantive nature. This discourse cannot be separated from the ongoing contestation of ideas and struggles for authority with Radical Islamic and Liberal Islamic groups. Therefore, it is closely related to the practice of power as the power of discourse which carries a number of certain interests. The results of the research in this dissertation emphasize the role and significance of ushul fiqh in the epistemological structure of pesantren which renews previous scholarly findings.
