The root word of ijtehad is “Juhd” which means “to try or strive”. It's the process in which a scholar independently strive to find answers, reasons or solutions to the problem in light of Quran and Ahadees.
Qiyaas
Sometimes they use analogy to find solutions. E.g: alcohol is forbidden. So if a thing has same effect as alcohol, it is also forbidden.
This method of analogy is called “Qiyaas”.
This document provides an overview of the study of Usool al-Fiqh, which is the methodology of Islamic jurisprudence. It discusses key concepts in Usool al-Fiqh such as the sources of Islamic law, principles of jurisprudence, and methods of derivation and interpretation. The document also compares Fiqh, which deals with rulings, to Usool al-Fiqh, which establishes the framework for understanding and deriving rulings from Islamic legal sources. Providing students with foundational knowledge of Usool al-Fiqh allows them to properly understand variations in legal opinions and derive rulings appropriately.
QURAN-QURAN- PRIMARY SOURCE OF ISLAMIC LAWkhanbaloch5
The Quran is the primary source of Islamic law according to the document. It lays down fundamental principles and general rules as direct revelations from God, but does not provide details. Jurists must use the Sunnah, or teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad, to interpret and explain the rules in the Quran. As Pakistan is an Islamic state, its laws must conform to the injunctions of the Quran and Sunnah. The Quran provides guidance for all aspects of human life and society.
Istihsan refers to juristic preference in Islamic law. It allows a jurist to choose a ruling that is more suitable or preferable over one established by analogy (qiyas) if it better serves public interest or avoids hardship. Istihsan must be based on clear evidence from the Quran, hadiths, scholarly consensus (ijma) or consideration of public welfare (maslaha). Examples of rulings made using istihsan include allowing salam contracts based on hadiths and istisna contracts based on ijma. While Abu Hanifa, Malik and Hamabli scholars accept istihsan, Shafii argued it amounts to making new rulings, though commentators
Ijtihad refers to independent reasoning and interpretation of Islamic legal sources to derive rulings. While the Prophet Muhammad directly received divine guidance, after his death scholars engaged in ijtihad to apply Islamic principles to new situations. A mujtahid is a qualified legal scholar who performs ijtihad. However, after the Abbasid era, the doors of ijtihad were largely closed. Reviving ijtihad requires liberating religious institutions, reforming education, and allowing collective and collaborative efforts to interpret issues like women's roles, Muslim unity, economics, and citizens living as minorities.
This document provides an introduction to usul al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence) and classification of Islamic law. It discusses different types of wajib (obligatory acts) based on several classifications including: meaning and ruling; time availability; extent of the act; object of the act; and subjects required to perform. Key types discussed are wajib muqayyad (time-bound), wajib 'ayni (universal), and wajib kifai (communal).
The document discusses the concepts of ijtihad (independent reasoning) and taqlid (following the rulings of qualified scholars) in Islamic jurisprudence. It provides definitions and conditions for ijtihad, as well as when taqlid is permitted. The views of several prominent Islamic scholars on these topics are presented, including that ijtihad requires in-depth knowledge and taqlid is acceptable for common people or when one cannot derive a ruling independently. The document aims to clarify the principles of these legal methodologies in the Islamic tradition.

Introduction to Usul Fiqh : al hukm al-taklifi 2NaimAlmashoori
The document provides an overview of the concept of prohibition (al-tahrim) in Islamic jurisprudence. It defines prohibition as a demand by the lawgiver to omit an act with certain binding terms where there is punishment for doing the act and reward for omitting it. Examples of prohibition include verses containing words that clearly forbid an act, negate its permissibility, or demand avoidance of the act. The document discusses the binding nature and examples of prohibition, as well as the Hanafite view on acts that are definitely or probably prohibited.
The document discusses the concept of maslahah mursalah in Islamic jurisprudence. It defines maslahah mursalah as unrestricted public interest that has not been explicitly regulated by the lawgiver. The document outlines the views of different jurists on when istislah (public interest) can be used as a basis for legislation. It also discusses the conditions for a maslahah to be valid, such as being genuine, general, and not in conflict with clear religious texts or scholarly consensus. Finally, it categorizes different types of maslahah - those upheld by the lawgiver, nullified by the lawgiver, and unrestricted maslahah murs
The document discusses the history and development of chocolate over centuries. It details how cocoa beans were first used by Mesoamerican cultures before being introduced to Europe where it became popular in powder and liquid forms. Chocolate production methods were refined over the 17th-18th centuries to create chocolate candy, bars, and other familiar products still enjoyed today.

Introduction to Usul Fiqh : Sadd dharai & Masalih MursalahNaimAlmashoori
This document discusses the Islamic legal principle of sadd al-dhara'i (blocking the means). It begins by defining sadd al-dhara'i as blocking means that could lead to a prohibited end. It then classifies the types of means into four categories based on the likelihood they will lead to harm. The document also discusses the meaning and classifications of maslahah mursalah (unrestricted public interest), and conditions for maslahah mursalah to be valid basis for law, including being genuine, general, and not in conflict with Islamic texts. The basis for maslahah mursalah includes Quranic verses emphasizing ease of religion and lifting of hardships.
This document provides an overview of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (usul al-fiqh) in 19 chapters. It discusses the primary sources of Islamic law such as the Quran, hadith, consensus (ijma), analogy (qiyas), and other secondary sources. Each chapter examines in detail the rules and methodology for deriving legal rulings from these sources, including principles of interpretation. The author aims to convey not just the content but also the spirit of the original Arabic sources on usul al-fiqh. The work is intended as a textbook for students seeking an intermediate to advanced understanding of this subject.
The document provides an introduction to tafseer (interpretation) of the Quran. It explains that the Quran contains guidance for believers but that understanding can vary depending on intelligence. While the Quran is clear, it contains generalities that were later explained by other verses or directly to the Prophet Muhammad. Proper tafseer requires knowledge of various Islamic sciences to fully comprehend the Quran's meanings and apply its teachings. The document outlines the history of tafseer scholarship from the earliest works to modern times.
Quran is not a book of laws but a book of
principles, it gives the spirit of laws not the laws

The document discusses the classification of sources of Islamic law according to origin, application, and authoritativeness. There are two main classifications according to origin: textual sources (Quran and hadith) and non-textual sources based on reasoning. Sources are also classified as agreed upon or disagreed upon according to application. Finally, sources are categorized as definitive or probable based on the authoritativeness of their transmission and meaning. The most authoritative sources are the Quran and mutawatir hadiths that have a single clear meaning.
The doctrine of necessity and its application in pakistanWajid Ali Kharal
The document summarizes the landmark Pakistan Supreme Court case of The State v/s Dosso and Others (PLD 1958 SC 553). It discusses how the case validated Pakistan's first martial law, imposed in 1958, on the basis of the "doctrine of necessity". The court overturned a previous high court ruling that had declared a colonial-era law (FCR) unconstitutional. This established an important precedent that allowed future military interventions to be justified legally in Pakistan based on necessity. The ruling undermined democracy and parliamentary supremacy in the country.

Introduction to Usul Fiqh : Amal ahl al-madinahNaimAlmashoori
This document discusses the concept of 'Amal Ahl al-Madinah, which refers to the principle used by Imam Malik ibn Anas to derive Islamic rulings by referring to the practices of the people of Medina. Imam Malik considered the practices of Medina to be an authoritative source and would give rulings according to them, even over single hadiths if they contradicted the common practices. He believed the people of Medina had inherited and maintained the correct understanding of the Sunnah from the time of the Prophet and the generations immediately following him.
This document defines 'urf (custom) and discusses its role and importance in Islamic jurisprudence. It notes that 'urf refers to recurrent practices accepted by people and can inform legal rulings in the absence of clear textual evidence. The document outlines the conditions for a valid custom and different types of customs. It examines how 'urf relates to and can help interpret or limit the application of principles from the Quran, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.
Ijtihad refers to the total effort exerted by a qualified legal scholar, or mujtahid, to infer rulings of sharia from detailed scriptural evidence. The task of the mujtahid is to discover rulings that are explicitly stated in sources like the Quran and hadith, extend them to new cases, and discover rulings for cases not covered by sources. To perform ijtihad, one must possess expert knowledge of Arabic, the Quran, hadith, consensus (ijma), analogy (qiyas), objectives of sharia, and maxims of jurisprudence, among other qualifications. Today, for a mujtahid's opinion to have significance it must be accepted by
