Al-Takyif (adaptation) which is also known as al-takyif al-fiqhi is a new method to determine the current juristical issues related to Islam. Al-Takyif is adapted from al-Qiyas method in Usul al-Fiqh discussion. The study aims to examine al-Takyif’s applicability in Islamic Research Methodology. Therefore the library research and textual analysis are conducted. The objectives are compiled in two main parts. The first part explains the concept of al-takyif in determining the juristical issue. While the second part discusses the possibility of al-takyif application in Islamic Research Methodology. The findings show that method of al-takyif has a slight similarity with the literature review in Social Science Research Methodology.
