Sharīʻah Maxims (Islamic Legal Maxims) and their Significance

Abstract

Sharīʻah Maxims (Islamic Legal Maxims) are such leading principles and regulations in the light of which legal scholars and academic philosophers explore the permissible commands of the enduring issues. One deducted legal rule doesn’t cover up all the situations and matters underneath but its maximum states. The assumption of laws is just by the Qur’ān and the Nobel statements of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), or the Ijm’a (Consensus of Opinion), Ijtihad and Qias (Analogy) which are deduced from these sources of the Sharīʻah.
