Summary
Using contemporary illustrations, Legal Maxims in Islamic Criminal Law delves into the theoretical and practical studies of al-Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah in Islamic legal theory. It elucidates the importance of this concept in the application of Islamic law and demonstrates how the concept relates to the objectives of Islamic law ( maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah ), generally. Included in this examination are the following maxims: al-Umūr bi-Maqāṣidihā (\'Matters shall be Judged by their Objectives\'); al-Yaqīn lā Yazūl bi-sh-Shakk (\'Certainty Cannot be Overruled by Doubt\'); al-Mashaqqa Tajlib at-Taysīr (\'Hardship begets Facility\'); Lā Ḍarar wa-lā Ḍirār (\'No Injury or Harm shall be Inflicted or Reciprocated\'); and al-ʿĀda Muḥakkama (\'Custom is Authoritative\').
