Fiqh (Islamic Law)
Fiqh (Islamic Law) – Understanding the Sharia and Its Foundations
Islamic law, also known as Fiqh, is a comprehensive legal system derived from the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma (consensus), and Qiyas (analogical reasoning). It governs all aspects of a Muslim’s life, including worship, business transactions, marriage, and criminal justice. Fiqh is often referred to as Sharia law, and various books on Islamic law provide detailed explanations of its principles and applications.
At AlJannah Books, we offer a wide collection of Islamic law books, including Sharia law books, books of Muslim law, and books on Islamic jurisprudence.
What is Fiqh (Islamic Law)?
The word Fiqh means “understanding” in Arabic. In Islamic terms, it refers to the detailed rulings and laws that guide Muslims in their daily lives. Fiqh is divided into two main categories:
-
Ibadat (Acts of Worship) – Rules related to prayer, fasting, charity (Zakat), and pilgrimage (Hajj).
-
Mu’amalat (Social and Legal Matters) – Laws concerning business transactions, marriage, inheritance, and crime.
Fiqh is based on Sharia law, which is derived from divine sources and interpreted by Islamic scholars. Various books on Sharia law explain these rulings in depth.
Sources of Islamic Law
Islamic law is based on four main sources:
1. The Qur'an
The Qur'an is the primary source of Islamic law, providing direct guidance on major legal and moral issues.
2. The Sunnah (Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)
The Sunnah refers to the sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It explains how to apply the teachings of the Qur'an in daily life.
3. Ijma (Consensus of Scholars)
Ijma is the agreement of Islamic scholars on certain legal matters, which helps address new situations that arise over time.
4. Qiyas (Analogical Reasoning)
Qiyas is the method of making rulings based on similar cases found in the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Many Islamic law books cover these topics in detail, helping scholars and students understand the foundations of Sharia law.
Schools of Islamic Law (Madhabs)
Islamic law is interpreted through four main Sunni schools of thought (Madhabs):
-
Hanafi – Founded by Imam Abu Hanifa, this school is the most widely followed.
-
Maliki – Founded by Imam Malik, it emphasizes the practices of the people of Madinah.
-
Shafi’i – Founded by Imam Al-Shafi’i, it focuses on the direct application of hadith.
-
Hanbali – Founded by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, known for its strict adherence to texts.
Each of these schools of Fiqh has contributed to the development of Muslim law books, offering interpretations based on different perspectives.
Books on Islamic Law (Sharia Law Books)
For those who want to study Sharia law in detail, several well-known books of Islamic law provide comprehensive insights into Muslim jurisprudence. Some of the most popular books include:
1. Shariah Islamic Law (PB) By Abd Ar-Rahman I. Doi
This book provides an in-depth analysis of Sharia law, covering its history, principles, and modern applications. It is a must-read for those looking for a Sharia law book that explains the legal system of Islam.
2. The Foundations of the Knowledge of the Usul
This book focuses on Usul al-Fiqh (Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence), helping readers understand how legal rulings are derived from Islamic sources.
3. The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam
Written by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, this book explains halal (lawful) and haram (prohibited) acts in Islam, making it an essential book of Muslim law for daily life.
4. Explanation of the Three Fundamental Principles of Islam
This book covers the basic principles of Islamic belief and law, helping readers develop a strong foundation in Fiqh and Sharia law.
At AlJannah Books, we offer these and many other Islamic law books to help readers gain knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence.
Sharia Law in Modern Times
Islamic law continues to be relevant in modern legal systems, especially in Muslim-majority countries. While some countries fully implement Sharia law, others apply Islamic principles alongside secular laws.
Topics such as business contracts, marriage laws, and criminal justice are covered in many Sharia law books, making them valuable for legal scholars and students.
Conclusion
Understanding Fiqh and Sharia law is essential for every Muslim, as it guides personal and social life. Many books on Islamic law provide valuable knowledge about Muslim jurisprudence, legal principles, and everyday rulings.
For those looking to expand their knowledge, AlJannah Books offers a wide range of Islamic law books, including Sharia law books, books on Islamic jurisprudence, and books about the history of Islamic law.
