This study was conducted with a qualitative approach using Design-Based Research (DBR), aiming to present a systematic transformational model for teaching and applying ijtihādī methods in the humanities, with a case study of family psychology. The main framework was based on the ijtihādī method in Islamic sciences, with its step-by-step updating and adaptation to the humanities and psychological sciences. Its practical goal was to empower researchers to understand, extract, and psychologically analyze Quranic and hadith texts based on methodological evidence. The research findings were obtained in three axes: 1. Formulation of a "comprehensive educational blueprint" in the form of a six-step hierarchical model that begins with textual-linguistic literacy (Arabic literature, Quran, and hadith) and, after ijtihādī literacy (principles of jurisprudence and inference) and specialized-psychological analytical literacy of Islamic texts, culminates in evidence-based applied analytical literacy (para-jurisprudential and jurisprudential analysis of texts) to provide the groundwork for scientific explanation and theorization; 2. Formulation of "ijtihādī analytical course plans for Islamic texts," including para-jurisprudential analysis and jurisprudential analysis of family texts with a psychological approach, emphasizing practical training in the application of literary, semantic, exegetical, hadith-jurisprudential (fiqh al-ḥadīth), and inferential principles; 3. "Implementation of the model" on the case sample of the family, which demonstrated the feasibility of objectively extracting psychological patterns and its effectiveness in creating a learning ecosystem. This model provides a transformational framework for method-oriented education that, by integrating multi-layered literacies, offers a systematic path for the application of ijtihādī methods in psychology and other humanities, and for redesigning targeted curricula.
