Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the Qur'an and the Sunnah detailed or general evidence?
Answer:
They are detailed. With respect to fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), they are detailed. As for usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence), they are general. The science of usul al-fiqh is the science of rules by which one derives fiqh rulings. This is usul al-fiqh. It is derived from general evidence. As for fiqh, it is derived from detailed evidence; every issue has evidence from the Book, or from the Sunnah, or from qiyas (analogical reasoning), or from ijma' (scholarly consensus). Yes.
