SeekersDigest: The Maqasid of the Shari`ah

Salamu `Alaykum

Excellent read:

Shaykh Qurra-Daghi expressed concern at the emergence of “al-fiqh al-maqasidi” (’goals-based fiqh’) in which fiqh is reduced down to simply a set of general maqasid (’primary goals’) of the Shariah, a handful of legal maxims (qawa`id fiqhiyya), and some general primary texts. He said that it is as if the scholars behind this push consider the general goals of the Shariah to be an independent, primary source of deriving rulings.
