The community's demand for answer of hukm increasingly unique and diverse as a direct impact from the realities of life without boundaries specifically refer to globalization. As a result, a number of new issues of hukm have not been discussed in detail by classical Muslim scholars before. This dynamism of science and technology affects the change of hukm and the accuracy of the hukm and encourages more effective research. To form the foundation of the concept and the theory of this study, reference has been made to literary materials in library savings, important and official documents such as minutes of meetings, research reports, statistics, official documents of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia and Mufti departments. Additionally, data was also obtained through face-to-face interviews and full participation observations in a meeting of a Sharia Technical Committee (fatwa). Additionally, data was also obtained through face-to-face interviews and full participation observations in a meeting of a Sharia Technical Committee (fatwa). The conclusion, the global and flexible nature of Sharia research can be seen the three factors in the Sharia research itself which simultaneously mutually reinforcing each other. Those three elements, the Idealisme of Islam is absolute and universal, the reality of society always changing and varied and the evolution of understanding and thinking of Muslim scholars. Sharia researchers need to be sensitive to changes in human life and their environment, especially socio-cultural change and thought was effect by globalization.

Tuntutan masyarakat terhadap jawapan hukum semakin unik dan pelbagai kesan langsung daripada realiti kehidupan tanpa sempadan merujuk khusus kepada globalisasi. Hasilnya, lahir beberapa isu hukum baru yang dahulunya tidak dibincangkan secara terperinci oleh sarjana hukum Islam klasik. Dinamisme sains dan teknologi ini memberi kesan terhadap perubahan hukum Islam dan ketepatan hukum serta mendorong penyelidikan yang lebih efektif. Bagi membentuk landasan konsep dan teori kajian ini, maka rujukan telah dibuat terhadap bahan-bahan literatur dalam simpanan perpustakaan, dokumen penting dan rasmi seperti minit mesyuarat, laporan penyelidikan, statistik, dokumen rasmi Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia dan jabatan-jabatan Mufti. Di samping, data turut diperoleh melalui temu bual secara bersemuka dan observasi penyertaan penuh dalam mesyuarat jawatankuasa teknikal syariah (fatwa). Kesimpulannya sifat global dan fleksibel dalam penyelidikan syariah dapat dilihat pada ketiga-tiga faktor dalam penyelidikan Syariah itu sendiri yang secara serentak saling memperkukuhkan antara satu sama lain. Ketiga-tiga unsur tersebut ialah idealisme Islam yang mutlak dan universal, realiti masyarakat yang sentiasa berubah dan berbeza-beza dan seterusnya kefahaman serta pemikiran fuqaha yang juga berevolusi. Para penyelidik Syariah perlu sensitif terhadap perubahan hidup manusia dan persekitarannya terutama perubahan sosio budaya dan pemikiran yang berlaku akibat globalisasi.
