ZHAl-Wajiz in Islamic Jurisprudence
"Al-Wajiz in Islamic Jurisprudence (Al-Wajiz fi Usul al-Fiqh) is a concise, educational introduction to the principles of Islamic jurisprudence that presents the rules of deduction and legal proofs in a modern style, combining scientific rigor with clarity. The book addresses the origins and historical development of the science of Usul al-Fiqh and details both agreed-upon and debated textual and rational proofs such as the Quran, the Sunnah, Consensus (Ijma), Analogy (Qiyas), Juristic Preference (Istihsan), Public Interest (Maslahah Mursalah), and Custom (Urf)leading to the rulings of obligation and law (such as mandatory, recommended, forbidden and disliked). The book serves as an essential reference for Sharia students and anyone seeking to understand the methodology of legal deduction in Islamic law."
Al-Wajiz in Islamic Jurisprudence by the renowned scholar Professor Dr. Wahba Al-Zuhayli is considered one of the most prominent simplified academic textbooks designed to make the science of Usul al-Fiqh accessible to students and researchers, aiming to highlight the methodological rules and evidence that jurists and mujtahids rely upon to derive practical legal rulings from their detailed sources. The book begins with a focused introduction defining the science of Usul al-Fiqh, its scope, benefits, origins, and historical development, before moving in its first section to discuss Islamic legal proofs and sources of legislation, reviewing primary agreed-upon proofs such as the Quran, Sunnah, Consensus and Analogy, followed by secondary and debated proofs such as Juristic Preference, Public Interest, Custom, Laws of Previous Prophets, Opinions of the Companions, Blocking Means to Evil (Sadd al-Dhara'i) and Presumption of Continuity (Istishab). In its second section, the book addresses legal rulings of obligation and declaration, detailing the types of obligating rulings including mandatory, recommended, prohibited, disliked and permissible, alongside declaring rulings, the Lawgiver, acts of accountable individuals and legal capacity. The work is distinguished by avoiding complex theological debates and employing a logical progression with scientific precision and clear phrasing, making it an authoritative reference and an ideal choice for translation into other languages to present Islamic legal thought in a systematic and structured manner to learners worldwide.
