Introduction: The word usul is the plural of the word asl (meaning ‘principle’). In this regard, the usul is a framework of principles formulised in order to understand the rulings derived from the shari’ah for our everyday lives. This is because of the fact that not all specific rulings have been given in the Qur’an, nor have all secondary rulings been given in the hadith collections. Usul al-Shashi, was authored by either Nidham al Din ash-Shashi or Abu Ibrahim Ishaq ibn Ibrahim ash-Shashi, the exact author of which is not known. The word Shashi is one of tashdeed, meaning it is a denotation of the geographical location from which the author originates. This area of Shash is a region found in or around that of modern day Uzbekistan. The principles laid down in this book are only to be derived by the mustambiteen from amongst the ulama. These being individuals that have mastered the sciences through the correctness given to them by Allah, and derived from four sources.,
