This study aims to compare Imam Syafiis medical perspective with modern medical practice, and to assess the relevance of his thoughts in the context of contemporary medical science. Imam Syafii, a famous scholar in Islamic history, is not only known as an expert in the field of fiqh but also has significant contributions to medical science and healthcare. Through a literature review and comparative analysis, this study examines Imam Syafiis views on the importance of medical science, preventive approaches, and treatment of diseases, and compares them with modern medical principles based on scientific research and clinical evidence. The findings of the study show that many aspects of Imam Syafii’s views on medicine are in line with modern medical practice, especially in the aspects of disease prevention and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. This study also outlines the suitability of old principles in the context of modern medicine and provides insight into how traditional approaches can support current medical practice. The results of this study are expected to enrich the understanding of the integration between traditional Islamic medical science and modern medicine.
