The Meaning of Understanding Reality and the Jurisprudence Required by the Shari'ah

Question:
You have spoken. What is called the fiqh of reality in the previous lectures, but is there more clarification? Because this term has been used, and I want it to mean a linguistic term, not a legal term?

Answer:
They say it is difficult to clarify what is already clear; the clear does not need clarification. The jurisprudence that is required and desired is jurisprudence in the Book and the Sunnah. This is the jurisprudence that is required. As for linguistic jurisprudence, that is among the permissible matters; it is not something required of people. To have jurisprudence in the language means to know the meaning of a word, its derivatives, its letters, and so on. This is called linguistic jurisprudence, like the book *Fiqh al-Lughah* by al-Tha'alibi and others. This is one of the supplementary matters, part of learning the language. As for jurisprudence when used in the absolute sense, as in “let them have jurisprudence in the religion” , and so on, the meaning is jurisprudence in the religion by knowing the rulings of the Shari'ah. This is what is required, and this is what Muslims must pay attention to and learn.
