Islamic Jurisprudence, known as Fiqh, is the study and interpretation of Islamic law derived from the Qur'an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It provides guidelines for various aspects of life, including personal conduct, family matters, and social justice. Scholars analyze texts and apply reasoning to address contemporary issues, ensuring that the law remains relevant.
The primary sources of Islamic Jurisprudence are the Qur'an, the Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet), consensus among scholars, and analogical reasoning. Different schools of thought, such as Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, offer diverse interpretations, reflecting the rich intellectual tradition within Islam.
