Abbreviation of Principles of Law Jurisprudence

Apart from the fact that the existing works on Islamic Jurisprudence in the English language do not offer an exclusive treatment of usul al-fiqh,

there is also a need to pay greater attention to the source materials,

namely the Qur’an and sunnah, in the study of this science. In the English works,

the doctrines of usul al-fiqh are often discussed in relative isolation from the authorities in which they are founded. Furthermore, these works tend to exhibit a certain difference of style and perspective when they are compared to the Arabic works on the subject.
