Unrestricted Analogical Reasoning (Al-Qiyās Al-Wāsiʿ), Its Objectives And Methodologies, And Its Contemporary Application: A Case Study Of Imām Al-Ghazālī And Al-Shāṭibī
Abstract
This paper studies the characteristics of unrestricted analogy among the ancient jurists and its contemporary applications in light of the shariah objectives: Imam Al-Ghazali and Al-Shatibi as a case study. It takes into account the application of unrestricted analogy in the Islamic legal reality, considering all the emerging problems or issues in the lives of Muslims. It also highlights the importance of unrestricted analogy in Islamic jurisprudence and the motives that arose in the Islamic reality to seek legal solutions. The paper emphasizes the foundations and theories from which analogy was derived in its broadest concept, which distinguishes it from other sources of legislation. It focuses on the nature of unrestricted analogy and the face of its contemporary applications in light of the shariah objective, and explains the prophecy of unrestricted analogy from the ordinary as its basic structure from which it is launched; which indicates the validity and logic of expanding analogy from the ordinary to the advanced according to the principles of Islamic jurisprudence. This paper also contributes to the role of contemporary Muslim scholars in explaining the broad analogy after its concept was created and its features were revealed through the writings of the two great imams, namely Imam Al-Ghazali and Al-Shatibi, in addition to establishing a theory and methodology in deducing the rulings of new developments that occur in the reality of Muslims and for which there is no text, so that it would be valid for all places and times, and a scientific methodology for students and researchers. In conclusion, the paper presents some methodological and applied proposals, through which it is possible to address the dilemmas that have arisen in the reality of Muslims, offers some solutions to the thorny jurisprudential reality, and expands the scope of analogy.
