The garden of the observer and the paradise of the views

Authorship / Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi One of the books of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence Hanbali, he said in its introduction: This is a book in which we mention the principles of jurisprudence and the disagreement in it, and the evidence for each opinion on the preferred one, and we clarify what we accept from that and respond to those who oppose us in it. We began with a gentle introduction at the beginning, then followed it with eight chapters on judgment and its categories, and in detailing the principles, which are the Book, the Sunnah, consensus, and istislah (consideration of public interest). Then he explained the differing principles, and mentioned the divisions of speech and names, then clarified command and prohibition, generality and exception, and what is derived from words through their indication and faith. Then he proceeded to analogy, which is a branch of the principles, and explained the judgment of the mujtahid who derives rulings from these evidences, and the follower, and discussed the preferences of conflicting evidences.
