Qiyas

In Sunni Islamic jurisprudence , the qiyas ( Arabic قياس) is the process of analogical reasoning in which the teachings of the Hadith are compared and contrasted with those of the Qur'an , i.e., in order to make an analogy with a known injunction ( nass ) to a new injunction. As a result of this method, the ruling of the Sunnah and the Qur'an may be used as a means to solve or provide a response to a new problem that may arise. This, however, is only the case providing that the set precedent or paradigm and the new problem that has come about will share operative causes ( illah ) . The illah is the specific set of circumstances that trigger a certain law into action. Both Sunni Islam and Shi'a Islam share Qur'anic interpretation, the Sunnah , and Ijma' (consensus) as sources of Islamic law , although the two sects differ significantly with regards to the manner in which they use these sources. The sects also differ on the fourth source. Sunni Islam uses qiyas as the fourth source, whereas Shi'a Islam uses 'aql (intellect). Other methods of deducing the law, such as mafhm al-nass (the clear implication of the text), tamthil (similarity or likeness), istihsan (juristic preference), or istislah (consideration of public interest), either explicitly rely on qiyas or use methods of analysis that are similar in their understanding of qiyas. The Language of Law - Qiyas

In Islamic jurisprudence , qiyās ( ) is the process of deductive analogy in which the teachings of the Hadith are compared and contrasted with those of the Qur'an , in order to apply a known injunction ( nass ) to a new circumstance and create a new injunction. Here the ruling of the Sunnah and the Qur'an may be used as a means to solve or provide a response to a new problem that may arise. This, however, is only the case providing that the set precedent or paradigm and the new problem that has come about will share operative causes ( عِلّة , ʿillah ). The ʿillah is the specific set of circumstances that trigger a certain law into action.

The ʿillah is the specific set of circumstances that trigger a certain law into action. An example of the use of qiyās is the case of the ban on selling or buying of goods after the last call for Friday prayers until the end of the prayer stated in the Quran 62:9 . By analogy this prohibition is extended to other transactions and activities such as agricultural work and administration. Among Sunni Muslim in recent centuries Qiyas has been accepted as a fundamental source of Sharia law along with Ijmāʿ and secondary to the Qur'an , and the Sunnah .
