Derivation and Independence of Usul al-Fiqh (Foundations of Islamic Jurisprudence)

The discipline of Usul al-Fiqh (Foundations of Islamic Jurisprudence) is the most important in Islamic Shari'a. A scholar cannot reach the level of Ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) without a thorough understanding of Usul al-Fiqh, and it is not permissible in Islam for someone who has not studied Usul al-Fiqh to issue a fatwa. To learn any field of knowledge, one must first familiarise oneself with the ten principles of that field, which include its definition, subject matter, questions, outcomes, relationship to other disciplines, virtues, founder, name, derivation, and the ruling on studying it. This paper deals with the topic of derivation and independence of the discipline of Usul al-Fiqh. It aims to answer the following questions: What are the sources from which Usul al-Fiqh is de- rived? What is the nature of the derivation of Usul al-Fiqh from these sources? Is Usul al-Fiqh an independent disipline or an offshoot of other disiplines? The paper concludes that Usul al-Fiqh is generally derived from three disicplines: the funda- mentals of religion, the Arabic language, and Sharia rulings. It also affirms that the claim that Usul al-Fiqh is not an independent disicpline is incorrect and that its derivation from other disiplines does not affect its independence.

This research deals with the difference between obligatory speech and declaratory speech, which is one of the important differences in the fundamentals of jurisprudence. The research first presented a brief biography of Imam Ahmed Ibn Idris al-Qarafi and introduced his book Anwar al-Buruq fi Anwa al-Furuq. Then the researcher dealt with this difference in terms of language and idiomatic usage, stated the difference as explained by Imam al-Qarafi in his book Al-Furuq, and added other differences mentioned by scientists. This researcher concluded that there are ten differences between obligatory speech and declaratory speech of the situation, out of which Al-Qarafi mentioned three differences, including the requirement of science, ability and gain. There are seven differences related to the difference between them in terms of the purpose of the legislator, the ordering rule, real meaning, origin, generality, and so on.

This research deals with the difference between the rule of the linguistic condition and other mental, legal and normal conditions. This difference is one of the fundamental differences that bear relation to the subjects of positivist judgment as viewed by Imam Al-Qarafi, may Allah have mercy on him, through his book Differences. This study also discusses the differences from the perspectives of terminology and Islamic Shari’a, in addition to drawing on the differences as defined by Imam Al-Qarafi and by others scholars. The researcher found out that there are seven differences between the linguistic condition and the other mental, legal and normal conditions. Besides, the results show that the linguistic condition depends on the existence of its own stipulation which validates it, unlike the mental condition and the other ones.
