Introduction
Qawaid Al Fiqhiya can be translated as ‘Legal Maxims or Principles’ that are used in declaring new rulings, particularly in the absence of clear evidence from the four sources of Islamic Jurisprudence (Quran, Sunnah, Ijma & Qiyas). Studying Qawaid gives the seeker an insight into the compatibility between the Qawaid & Furu and provides an insight into such matters. The discipline of legal maxims (Qawaid Al-Fiqhiyya) teaches us the underlying structure and patterns of the rulings that have been derived from the primary sources. A famous example of such a maxim is, “Certainty is not lifted by doubt.” Another example is, “Something obligatory is not left except for something else that is obligatory.”

Recommendation:
These maxims are madhab-specific and are used by scholars to extrapolate existing rulings of Islamic law to apply to new cases. This extrapolation is a complex procedure that often involves the interplay of many different maxims. Thus this is a subject that requires a student to have learnt Fiqh in detail. We recommend this course for Advance Fiqh students.
