Fiqh Course:

Islamic jurisprudence :-

Fiqh refers to Islamic Jurisprudence. It is the understanding or explanation of the Islamic Shariah in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. There are four popular schools of jurisprudence, namely, Hanafi, Shafei, Hambali and Maliki. Fiqh plays an eminent role in the life or every Muslim and therefore its significance and excellence in understanding the Islamic Religion (Din) has been clearly mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah.

It is very important for us to understand fiqh as its going to be quite helpful in our dealings.

Fiqh expands and develops Shariah through interpretation (ijtihad) of the Quran and Sunnah by Islamic jurists (ulama) and is implemented by the rulings (fatwa) of jurists on questions presented to them. Thus, whereas sharia is considered immutable and infallible by Muslims, fiqh is considered fallible and changeable.

The importance of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) knowledge in Islamic jurisprudence rulings lies in the fact that it strengthens the understanding of the Orders of Allah and of His Prohibitions, as well as the understanding of what has been revealed to the Prophet, in addition to the application of these rulings in practical life.

Its importance also lies in the apparent need that the pubescent person has for Fiqh, a need similar to what he has for food, water and air.

Moreover, Fiqh illustrates the rules, conditions and issues pertaining to the daily life of a Muslim, and which a Muslim needs in all conditions, in worship, in dealings with fellow citizens, personal circumstances, in applying the punishments, and how the ruling should be applied, and the rulings pertaining to peace and warfare.

Thus, we realize the necessity of Fiqh and its importance for the individual, society and the Ummah (Muslim nation) as a whole.
