The intelligent elite in the science of the principles of jurisprudence of the Hanafi school

This is a small-sized book that is very beneficial in the principles of jurisprudence among the Hanafi scholars. Its author is Sheikh Omar Noor al-Din al-Azhar, Hanafi in doctrine, from the Qalousani country, to facilitate access to the knowledge of the science of principles. He named it: The Intelligent Elite in the Science of the Principles of Hanafi Jurisprudence. The Hanafi method in the writing of the science of the principles of jurisprudence is characterized by establishing the foundational rules based on the jurisprudential branches, unlike the approach of the majority, which is to establish the foundational rules with evidence detached from the branches. The author mentioned issues of the science of jurisprudence in the Hanafi school and clarified them with concise expressions and eloquent style. Among the topics included are: the definition of the science of principles, actions, projects, causes, truth and metaphor, command and prohibition, explicit and metaphorical, consensus, analogy, istihsan, general and specific, shared and interpreted, apparent and textual, explanatory and decisive, hidden and problematic, ambiguous and similar, speech of disbelievers, ijtihad, ranks of jurists, and the diligence of the mufti. The author has another book called: The Royal Breeze in the Conditions of the Arab Nation in the Pre-Islamic Era. Youssef Ilyan Sarkis mentioned in his book, The Dictionary of Arabic and Arabized Publications (2/1525), that he wrote it on the occasion of the promise of Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway, to award the best prize to whoever authored the best work on the conditions of the pre-Islamic Arab nation. He completed its compilation in the year 1305 AH, at which time he was 36 years old, and it is printed in 196 pages.
