Islamic Legal Maxims Consisting of Al-Karkhi's Al-'Usul Arabic text, English Transliteration, English Translation & Imam al-Nasafi's Commentary Includes Notes & Short Historical & Biographical Introduction by the Translator : Justice Dr. Munir Ahmad Mughal Paperback 97 Pages Publisher : Istinarah Press About The Book This is an English translation of the classical work on Hanafi Fiqh known as Usul al-Karkhi by Imam Abul Hasan al-Karkhi (d. 340 AH) of Baghdad, Iraq. It includes a brief commentary by Imam al-Nasaf, mostly by way of an example The appreciation and understanding of these maxims is a requirement to truly extract the correct judicial rulings from the four sources of Islamic law: The Quran, Sunna, Ijma and Qiyas. This edition was rendered into English by Justice Munir Ahmad Mughal from the Punjab University Law college in Lahore, Pakistan. The oldest collection of Legal Maxims that has reached to us is the Risalah 'usul,-al-Karkhi (260AH-340AH). By deep study of these 'usul it reveals that they are inclusive of qawa'id, dawabit, 'usul, and kulliyat. Some of them have the status of such general kulliyat that can be declared as the collective asset of Islamic Fiqh and some 'usul are such which may be useful in knowing the effective cause of Fiqhi values and to know the solution of Fighi problems according to the Hanafi way of proving a thing (istidlal) and the Hanafi style of logical deduction on a legal question (ijtihad) by a learned and enlightened doctor (Mujtahid). ".The style of Imam Karkhi is that he states the legal maxim in a small sentence while Imam Nasafi gives brief example. The principle and the example are so concise that a person who is not well-versed in Figh he is not in a position to easily get benefit of it. Here it should be remembered that the legal maxims of Imam Karkhi have undergone the process of refinement in the later centuries and almost all the maxims at present are not in their original shape that was given to them by Imam Karkhi. For instance, out of the ninety nine legal maxims given in Al-Majallah only one maxim (article no. 4 of Al-Majallah) is partially stated according to the form of the first maxim of Al- 'usul of Imam Karkhi. Otherwise, all the remaining maxims are present in Al-Majallah so far as their meanings are concerned, but the words and statements are not the same which were given to them by Imam Karkhi.".…
