    Usul al-Fiqh is the science that establishes the principles and methodology for deriving rulings from Islamic legal sources like the Quran and hadith. It provides the framework for jurists to interpret religious texts and derive rulings for new issues not directly addressed in primary sources. A usuli is someone knowledgeable about these derivation principles and sources, while a faqih understands the rulings themselves. Usul al-Fiqh ensures rulings are made in accordance with the objectives and spirit of Islamic law.

    The lexical meaning of Usul
    • The lexical meaning of Asl (plural Usul):
    Something from which another thing
    originates [Root].
    • It also means, Something upon which
    another thing is constructed [Foundation].
    • In some cases asl is used in the sense of the
    word ‘Masdar’, which means [Source].
    • In the legal system of Islam, Fiqh is built
    upon and stems from the bases (Usul), which
    constitute its source-evidence. 4
    Technical meaning of Asl
    • The word Asl is used to mean Daleel: a
    guide leading a caravan. The use of the term
    Daleel conforms with the term Source.
    • The word Asl is used to indicate the
    foundation upon which analogy maybe
    based, e.g.: Kham’rah (intoxication) is an asl
    or basis for the prohibition of the nabiz
    (beverages), from the same asl it can be
    extended do other such substances.
    • Asl is used in the sense of the original rule.
    5
    The lexical meaning of Fiqh
    • Fiqh means having knowledge in depth,
    deep understanding, or full comprehension.
    • It has similar meanings to the word ‘Ilm
    (knowledge) and were used synonymously
    during the time of the Prophet (peace be
    upon him), but were separated later to
    imply different things.
    • Fiqh implies an ‘understanding’ of Islam in
    a general way or what a person is likely to
    conclude from obvious set of evidences. 6
    The technical meaning of Fiqh
    • Technically Fiqh is defined as: the
    Knowledge of the practical rules of
    Shari’ah that have been acquired from the
    detailed evidences.
    • Fiqh consist of either: [1] Issues [masaa‘il]
    concerning which the ruling by one of the
    five rulings is sought. Or [2] Evidence
    [dalaa‘il] employed in extracting and
    determining these masaa‘il (issues). So,
    Fiqh is actually knowledge of the Masaa‘il
    [issues] and the Dalaa‘il [evidences]. 7
    The technical meaning of
    Usul Fiqh:
    • Knowledge or science of those rules, which
    directly or indirectly lead to the science of
    Fiqh.
    • They are the principles by the use of which
    the Mujtahid arrives at the legal rules
    through the specific evidences.

    8
    Usuli and Faqih
    • Usooli (jurist); the one who knows the
    sources and evidences behind rulings. For
    example, he knows why it’s wajib to pray
    five times a day.
    • Faqih: the one who understands the rulings
    of Fiqh. For example he knows it’s wajib to
    pray five times a day.

    Notes on Chapter 1
    • Islamic Shari’ah is the textual law.
    • Islamic Shari’ah comprises the Nusus
    (texts) of the Holy Qur’an and the Purified
    Sunnah.
    • Fiqh is the derivative law.
    • Fiqh comprises the understanding of the
    Nusus by Jurists.
    10
    Notes on Chapter 1
    • The scope of the Shari’ah comprises the
    following:
    1. Beliefs (Aqeedah).
    2. Acts of worship (Ibadat).
    3. Civil and social transactions (Mu’amalat).
    4. Ethics (Akh’laq).
    • The scope of the Fiqh comprises only acts
    of worship and social transactions.
    11
    Notes on Chapter 1
    • Hence there might be no disagreement in
    Islamic shari’ah, whereas there is
    disagreement in fiqh, since it has been
    derived by the Jurists.
    • Usul al-Fiqh is the branch of knowledge
    which comprises rules and regulations for
    deriving laws from shari’ah.
