520 _aThe book (first published in 1962) offers a clear and systematic introduction to the principles and practice of Islamic law. Written to serve both students and general readers, the work explains the foundations of jurisprudence, including the nature of fiqh, sources of law such as the Qur’an, Sunnah, consensus (ijma‘), and analogy (qiyas), as well as supporting principles used in deriving rulings. It outlines the classifications of legal rulings—obligatory, recommended, permissible, disliked, and forbidden—and explores how jurists resolve conflicts and interpret texts. While primarily focused on traditional doctrines, the book also touches upon applications in worship, personal law, and transactions. Its strength lies in presenting complex concepts in an accessible manner, supported by references and indexing, though it does not deeply address modern reformist or contemporary legal challenges.
