    During the Makkan period, there came a realization that the Quran has to be read publicly to people and someone has to go out there and read it to people. When the Companions were only a few, they needed to read the Qur’ān openly and Ibn Mas‘ūd volunteered despite his size and lack of tribal support. He was beaten brutally but still wanted to continue

    • False

    Correct Answer

    From this Hadeeth as well as the above ayah, we realize how confined a Mujtahid or Mufti is when codifying the laws of Islaam. It is one thing to trust a shaykh and another to follow a shaykh blindly without being aware of how he gets his knowledge.

    Many principals of usool were founded and practiced by the Prophet (saw).

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Most of our sources come from the Quran and Sunnah. We get everything even the issue of Ijtihaad, from Rasool . Overall the whole principle of Usool al-Fiqh came from the time of Rasool . However, Usool Al-Fiqh came later as a written and developed science.

    There was no need for methodology because solutions to problems were obtained through either divine revelation or the Messenger’s direct ruling. Many Usool principles were founded and obviously practiced by the Messenger of Allah  and therefore laid the foundation down for this science.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is not a source of the Usool al Fiqh?

    • Quran

    • Logic

    • Sunnah

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    Just like specific Fiqh rulings (like praying 5 times a day) need proof, such is the case with the
    principles of Fiqh:

    One: From the Qur'an
    Two: From the Sunnah
    Three: From the Arabic language
    Four: From Logic:
    Logic recently has been used as an independent source within the Arabs. But they became this way after their exposure to other cultures like the Persians and the East. The 'Ulema, themselves, were hesitant against using too much logic.

  • 12. 

    13. Which schools of thought follow the theoretical approach to usool, also known as Tareekat al-mutakalimeen, usool al-shaafi’yah?

    • Shafi’e, Hanbali, and Hanafi

    • Shafi’e, Hanbali, and Maliki

    • Shafi’e and Hanbali only

    • Shafi’e only

    Correct Answer
    A. Shafi’e, Hanbali, and Maliki
    Explanation
    Maliki, Shafi’ee, Hanbali and the Mu’tazilah. This is the approach of the majority of the scholars in Usool al-Fiqh. The Mu’tazilah, the starters for this approach, made a Haakim over the Qur’an and Sunnah. For them, right and wrong was based on logic and human reasoning. They believed Qur’an was not the speech of Allaah, but rather a Creation of Allaah. ‘Aql, or intellect, was the cause of much of their deviation. Imaam as-Shafi’ee had harsh statements about them. There is no need for these rules, if you understand Arabic. The philosophy brought lots of harm to the religion. Can you use your intellect and reasoning to understand the Quran and Sunnah? For Mu’tazilah, they valued logic and reason so much (Tahseen wa Takbeen (human reasoning)) that they used it over the Qur'an. So they came to the Aayat of the Qur'an and changed many things, due to their intellect
