AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE

Taqrīb al-Wusūl ilā 'Ilm al-Usūl is a masterful introduction to the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (usūl al-fiqh) by the renowned Andalusian scholar Ibn Juzayy (1294–1340 CE). With remarkable clarity and precision, it distils the foundational methods by which Muslim jurists derive the Law from its sacred sources. The work expounds principles of interpretation, normative sources, and rational foundations within the Mālikī school, while also presenting positions of other legal schools. It guides readers through linguistic sciences, legal rulings, and the disciplines of ijtihād and tarjīh – offering both a map and a method for understanding the inner architecture of the Sharī'ah.

About the Author: Ibn Juzayy was an illustrious Mālikī scholar and khaṭīb of Granada's Great Mosque. A devoted educator and man of action, he died defending his land on the battlefield, leaving a rich legacy across Islamic sciences.
