	Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The heritage of Islam, particularly its jurisprudence, has four sources - two founded on historical records going back to the time of Muhammad and two on the development of the science of interpretation in the early centuries of Islam.
		The great jurist ash-Shafi'i, however, preferred to rely solely on traditions from the prophet and thereafter on the method known as qiyas (analogy) where interpretations were to be derived from comparisons with relative subjects dealt with in the Qur'an or the traditions.
		Accordingly, Islamic jurisprudence has for centuries known no real development and is based fundamentally on the four sources mentioned.

		Islamic law (shari'a) is derived from the Qur'an and from the sunna.
		Islamic law was developed from the systematic application of the principles of the Qur'an and the sunna by leaders of the Islamic communities that were established in the first two centuries after the hijra [622 CE].
		Islamic jurisprudence (usul al-fiqh) and the juristic system of legal norms (furu' al-fiqh) were developed through the deliberations of the leadership of the Islamic community (al-ulama), who would issue texts and opinions (fatwah) as well as review the day to day activity of judges and administrators.

	Article7: Brain Death in Islamic Jurisprudence
		As developed in the classical Islamic legal theory (usul al-fiqh), justifications in religious-moral action consists of a dialectic between judgments (fatawa) in specific cases and the generalizations derived from effective causes (`ilal) in cases in the light of which generalizations themselves are modified.
		In contemporary Islamic thinking, human conduct is to be determined in terms of how much legal weight is borne by a particular rule, and whether a rule renders a given practice obligatory or merely recommended.
		The Islamic position is an important contribution to international business ethics, for it is supported by a general cross-cultural moral belief that the poor ought to be protected as well as a specific revelation within Islam that regards interest as a form of disregard for the downtrodden in society.

	Lessons in Islamic Jurisprudence
		Islamic law proper is embedded in a moral hermeneutic, or system of interpretation.
		The expansion of Muslim rule brought legal questions that had to be sorted out immediately, and the Islamic legal tradition would later consider the decisions on these legal questions to be an exercise in ijtihad, the effort to derive rulings from their proper sources.
		In any case, it is clear that Islamic law was overwhelmingly jurist-made law; and by the second half of the second/eighth century full-fledged jurists emerged.

	Islam Does Not Need Liberalising
		Islamic jurisprudence has a number of established principles traditionally followed by Muslim jurists.
		This has been a constant feature of Islamic jurisprudence in the Muslim world from the early medieval period, through the Renaissance to the advent of modern secular liberalism (itself an imposition of recent Western hegemony).
		However, “Islamic revivalism”, a post-colonial phenomenon, is moving towards the reinstitution of Ijtihad (legal renewal) as a means of “Islamisation”.

	Article7: Brain Death in Islamic Jurisprudence
		Based on its presuppositions about the communitarian ethics the primary obligation of the Islamic court is to ensure the safety and welfare of the individual in the context of the society as a whole.
		Hence, the debate in North America concerning the acceptance of "higher brain formulations of death" and the controversial aspects of providing medical care of patients with advanced forms of dementia and PVS is absent in the juridical literature dealing with the definition of death.

	Islamic jurisprudence and its sources
		Islamic law refers to two opposing and reciprocally interacting elements: the actual laws of Islamic states and the actual practices of its respective courts.
		The actual beginning of Islamic jurisprudence is assumed to originate in the foundation of discussion circles, where court decisions of early Islamic times were analysed as well as discussed, whether the regulations of the Qur'an and the hadith were applied correctly to solve new problems.
		When laying the foundation stone of Islamic jurisprudence, ash-Shafii declared that the sunna of the prophet originate just as much as the Qur'an itself in divine revelation and must therefore be obeyed the same way.

		Second, it is a call for Muslims to stand behind women in prayer as a matter of “civil” disobedience in the face of a clear injustice, even in the face of the discomfort of both men and women in the community at large.

		There are examples past and present demonstrating that jurists have understood their obligation to use their minds and their consciences to work in creative ways to counter injustice that had been previously been supported by clear legal permissions.

		The science of Islamic jurisprudence consists of a knowledge of the precepts of the Divine Legislator in their relation to human affairs.
