MUQADDIMAT FI AL-DAWABIT AL-USULIYYAH (DIRASAH TA’SILIYYAH TATBIQIYYAH) [INTRODUCTIONS TO THE REGULATIONS OF ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALS: A BASIC APPLIED STUDY]
Keywords:
Al-Dawabit, al-UsulAbstract
Abstract: : The greatest and most valuable studies are those that address the fundamentals of the Islamic religion. Understanding these fundamentals represents one of the most important duties of Muslims, particularly scholars who aspire to be proficient Islamic jurists. This aspiration can only be attained by acquiring knowledge of Usul (Islamic fundamentals), including Usul al-Fiqh (Fundamentals of Islamic jurisprudence). Also, the scholars of Usul often mention the term al-Dabit (Regulation) without providing its definition, explanation, or considering it as one of the aspects of Usul. Nevertheless, the widely used term is known as al-Dawabit al Fiqhiyya (regulations of Islamic jurisprudence). The issue lies in referring to the term al-Dabit in the field of Usul with no clear intended meaning. Therefore, this study aims to explore the intended meaning of al-Dabit amongst the scholars of Usul throughout history and provide a clear definition of al-Dabit al-Usuli (Regulation of Islamic fundamentals). Also, the study draws a comparison between al-Dawabit al Fiqhiyya and al-Qawa’id al-Usuliyyah (Principles of Islamic fundamentals). The study employed a qualitative approach to extrapolate the use of the term al-Dabit among scholars of Usul. Additionally, an analytical method was used to explain the meaning of al-Dabit al-Usuli and draw a comparison between al-Dawabit al-Usuliyyah and al-Dawabit al-Fiqhiyyah. The study revealed that, throughout history, the scholars of Usul have not provided a specific definition of al-Dabit al-Usuli. At times, some of the scholars refer to the term al-Dabit as a mere regulation, while a few of them specify its technical meaning. Also, the term al-Dabit is rarely used by the scholars of Usul to refer to al-Qa’idah al-Usuliyyah (The rule of Islamic fundamentals), whereas the usage of al-Dawabit al-Usuliyyah mostly indicates a collection of rules.
