This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work constitutes a critical analysis of classical and modern aspects of the concept of istihsan (juristic preference), an important principle in Islamic legal legislation throughout history. Although there has been many research works on the subject, it still requires further investigation on the role and nature of istihsan with regard to a combination of classical and modern approaches. Consisting of four chapters, the author begins by introducing some general principles of Islamic law, before discussing the history of istihsan during the time of the Prophet and his Companions. He also analyses the validity of istihsan as a source of law and discusses the differences among scholars on its method of implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Istihsan(juristic preference) deviates from and sometimes contradicts well-esta blished general precepts of law. It calls for a considerable amount of personal judgment on the part of the jurist who applies it. In the early period of Islam, istihsan was identified with ra'y (personal opinion) which frequently lacked sy stematic guide-lines. Abu Hanifah (d. 150/767) does not consider istihsan as a m erely arbitrary opinion. He believes that it is a procedure of setting aside an apparently strict ruling of analogy in the interest of fairness and justice. On the other hand, Shafi'i (d. 204/819) adopts a text-oriented approach; he believe s that a Muslim jurist is guided, not by intuition, but by textual evidence (dal il). He therefore subscribes to qiyas (inference by analogy) and rejects istihsa n. An Hanafi jurist, Sarakhsi (d. 490/1096) later wrote a chapter on the explana tion of qiyas, istihsan and takhsis al-'illah (particularization of the cause) a s a rebuttal to Shafi'i's criticism of istihsan. Ibn Taymiyah (d. 728/1327), and Hanbali jurist, not only agrees with the istihsan, but believes that it is in r eality takhsis al-'illah. To this effect, he wrote a treatise on istihsan and ca lled it Mas'alat al-Istihsan. This thesis studies the concept of istihsan as des cribed by the above mentioned jurists, and some of their works on the subject ar e translated into English. The purpose of this thesis is to offer an historical study on juristic preference, its relationship with qiyas and takhsis al-'illah. This study attempts to add to our knowledge of istihsan and leads us to further and fuller analysis of why Shafi'i rejected it.

Download or read book Contemporary Bioethics written by Mohammed Ali Al-Bar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the common principles of morality and ethics derived from divinely endowed intuitive reason through the creation of al-fitr' a (nature) and human intellect (al-‘aql). Biomedical topics are presented and ethical issues related to topics such as genetic testing, assisted reproduction and organ transplantation are discussed. Whereas these natural sources are God’s special gifts to human beings, God’s revelation as given to the prophets is the supernatural source of divine guidance through which human communities have been guided at all times through history. The second part of the book concentrates on the objectives of Islamic religious practice – the maqa' sid – which include: Preservation of Faith, Preservation of Life, Preservation of Mind (intellect and reason), Preservation of Progeny (al-nasl) and Preservation of Property. Lastly, the third part of the book discusses selected topical issues, including abortion, assisted reproduction devices, genetics, organ transplantation, brain death and end-of-life aspects. For each topic, the current medical evidence is followed by a detailed discussion of the ethical issues involved.
