Synopsis

This book comprises sixteen studies revolving around the historical development of the discipline of maqāṣid traceable from the era of the Prophet’s Companions, until its foundations were firmly laid by al-Shāṭibī, and those following him, led most prominently by Shaykh Ibn ‘Āshūr. He also further highlighted the role of maqāṣid in the contemporary Islamic renewal. Some of these studies investigate the ways of discovering and identifying the objectives of Islamic law; other studies discuss the misunderstandings in the relationship between legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh) and universal objectives (al-maqāṣid al-kulliyyah). The book also includes a study on omission (al-tark) in legislation (tashrīʿ) and obligation (taklīf). It also addresses the principle of means (al-dharāiʿ) in terms of history of knowledge, critical analysis of its traditional examples and giving alternative and contemporary examples in opening (fatḥ) and closing (sadd), while explaining the consequences (al-maʾālāt) and their significant effect on public good.
