Question:
Is it true that the science of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence) was derived from the science of kalam?

Answer:
No. It is not from the science of kalam. Who says that? It is derived from fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) in the Sunnah, the chains of narration, and so on. Yes. Do you mean the terminology or do you mean the principles of fiqh? We have the principles of hadith, which is this terminology, and we have the principles of fiqh, which is this fiqh derived from the verses, the hadiths, the consensus of the scholars, and valid analogical reasoning. Yes.
