References on Shariah
Fatwa No: 88379

Question

I want references about aims and wisdoms of Shariah with only the names of the books. Thank you.

Answer

 

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

The most famous books which have been written about the objectives of the Sharee'ah are:

- Maqasid Al-Sharee'ah Al-Islaamiyah, written by the scholar Al-Tahir Ibn Ashur.

- Al-Maqasid Al-'Aamah Lish-Sharee'ah Al-Islaamiyah, written by Doctor Yousuf Hamid Al-'Aallam.

- Nadhariyat Al-Maqaasid 'Inda Ash-Shaatibi, written by Ahmed Al-Rayssouni.

On the other hand, the Islamic studies section of the faculty of literature, at Al-Qadi Iyad University in Beni Millal city, Morocco, organized an international conference between the 20th-22nd February 2001, about the objectives of the Sharee'ah (maqaasid ash-sharee'ah) and their application in Islamic studies. Many surveys were presented on this issue.

All of these references are available in Arabic only.

Allaah Knows best.
