Introduction to Islamic Jurisprudence - Fiqh

Fiqh is Islamic jurisprudence. Fiqh is an expansion of the code of conduct (Shari'a) expounded in the Qur'an, often supplemented by tradition (Sunnah) and implemented by the methodology, principles and interpretations of Islamic jurists.
Fiqh deals with the observance of rituals, morals and social legislation in Islam. There are four prominent schools (madh'hab) of Fiqh within Sunni practice.

Explanation of Islamic Jurisprudence

Fiqh is defined as the knowledge of the practical rules of the religion. Much of it has evolved to prevent innovation or alteration in the original religion, known as bid'ah. The method Islamic jurists use to derive rulings is known as Usul Al-fiqh ("legal theory", or "principles of jurisprudence"). According to Islamic legal theory, law has four fundamental roots, which are given precedence in this order: the Qur'an, the Sunnah (the practice of Muhammad), the consensus of the Muslim jurists (ijma), and analogical reasoning (qiyas).
