The legal theory beneath the rulings.
The principles of Islamic jurisprudence — the sources of law (Qurʾān, Sunnah, ijmāʿ, qiyās), the conditions of ijtihād, the rules of inference, the kinds of indication a legal text can carry, and the interaction of general and specific evidence.
Ḥanafī works of usūl — Nūr al-Anwār, al-Ashbāh wa l-Naẓāʾir, the Manār — sit at the heart of this section. Comparative material from other schools is included where the contrast is clarifying.
