-A '''Mujtahid''' (مجتهد‎, ''’muğtahid'') is a Muslim jurist who is qualified to interpret the law and thus to generate [[Ijtihad]].

-The qualifications for a mujtahid were set out in the 11<sup>th</sup> century by Abul Husayn al-Basri  in "al Mu’tamad fi Usul al-[[Fiqh]]".  These were accepted by later [[Sunni]] scholars, including al-Ghazali, although al-Ghazali believed that [[Bid'ah|innovation]] had ended, as there was nobody qualified to be a Mujtahid. Such qualifications require proficiency in [[Shariah|Shari'ah]] and its interpretation.
