Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) represents the practical expression of divine guidance in the life of a Muslim. It provides a structured way to worship, transact, and behave ethically in society. The classical scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama‘ah built fiqh on the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah, consensus (ijma‘), and analogical reasoning (qiyas). The goal of fiqh is not merely technical compliance, but a deeper alignment with the purposes of Shariah, which include the preservation of faith, life, intellect, lineage, and property. Within this framework, fiqh develops clarity on daily worship, social conduct, financial dealings, and personal obligations. Differences in scholarly opinion arise naturally due to variations in textual interpretation, language, available narrations, and the methodologies of the legal schools. Despite differences, all four Sunni madhhabs maintain a shared foundation rooted in revelation. This topic explores essential aspects of fiqh, providing accessible guidance grounded in orthodox Sunni tradition.
