Annotation: The role of Islam in the eyes of the world community is incomparable. In Uzbekistan, where the majority of the population is traditionally Muslim, there is a practice of social support for enlightened Islamic ideas, which is due to the fact that historically Islam was not only a religion, but also the basis of people's way of life, thinking, state structure, law and culture that has been preserved as a custom. The article discusses formal and informal attempts to systematize Sharia law. The role of collective ijtihad in the development of Islamic law is also discussed.
