Taj al-din al-Subki's work titled al-Ashbah wa al-nazair

When "usûl" (principles) is mentioned in the fiqh literature, "usûlü'l-fiqh", which examines the philosophical and methodological principles of fiqh, on the one hand, and "qawaid" (plural of qaidah), which means "the principles and rules that focus on the intellectual foundations and aims of the rulings of fiqh", on the other hand, must be understood. A special examination of the qawaid of fiqh, some of which were directly expressed in the texts and which were determined as the products of the intellectual efforts of Muslim jurists for the sake of understanding the main sources of Islam, constituted an important type of writing in the fiqh literature. Different evaluations have been made about the benefits and functions of these qawaid, most of which are expressed as legal maxims, in the thought and practice of fiqh. Among the books written about the function of the qawaid, its types in the fields of usûl and furû, and the particular issues it covers, works such as al-Ashbah have an important place. One of the first and most important works written in al-Ashbah literature is al Ashbah wa al Nazair of Taj al-Din al-Subki. This study, which examines the place, content and method of al Ashbah wa al Nazair of Taj al-Din al-Subki in al Ashbah literature, consists of an introduction, two sections and a conclusion.
