Practice these MCQs in the appQuick fact: There are four pillars of Qiyas in Islamic jurisprudence.
Qiyas (analogical reasoning) is one of the secondary sources of Islamic law, used when the Quran and Sunnah are silent on a matter. It has four essential pillars: the original case (Asl), the ruling of the original case (Hukm al-Asl), the new case (Far'), and the effective cause or legal reason (Illah). All four must be present for a valid Qiyas to be performed.
Qiyas is recognized as a source of Islamic law primarily by the Sunni schools of jurisprudence, particularly the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools. The fourth pillar, Illah (effective cause), is the most critical element as it is the common link that justifies extending the original ruling to the new case. Imam Abu Hanifa is known for extensive use of Qiyas in deriving legal rulings.
