The Independence of the Science of Jurisprudence Is a Study in The Concept and A Cause of Disagreement

Abstract

This study investigates the notion of Usul al-Fiqh, the science that underpins Islamic law, and the reasons behind disagreements with regard to its independence. It has been established that the main point of contention is whether Usul al-Fiqh science stands alone from the sciences from which it originates. There are two schools of thought that diverge on this issue: the first holds that Usul al-Fiqh is not independent of the other sciences from which it draws, while the second holds that it is. The research then clarifies the cause of this discrepancy, which results from a restricted comprehension of Usul al-Fiqh's core principles and the veracity of its categorizations. This explanation is connected to the weaknesses in the verification and research. The study ends with a number of recommendations, one of which being the importance of focusing on researching the reasons behind disagreements on basic topics and elucidating the nature of their connections. It is recommended that more research be done to comprehend the connection between these sciences and how Usul al-Fiqh is affected by them. Emphasis is placed on a thorough examination of the Arabic language, stressing the value of induction and exact analysis in the field and the necessity of mastering grammar and language in order to understand Usul al-Fiqh. May success come from God.
