The 4 Sunni schools of law (اهل السنة والجماعة)
The 4 schools of law rest on the same Quran and Sunnah; they differ only in their methods of deriving rulings and in decisions on new questions.

Key principles:
Emphasis on reasoned judgement (Ahl al-Ra'y)
Careful scrutiny of single-narrator (ahad) hadiths on matters of general obligation
A clear distinction between fard (a definitive Quranic command) and wajib

The 5 major legal maxims (Al-Qawa'id al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra)
The 5 supreme legal maxims that govern tens of thousands of legal questions in Islam, agreed upon by scholars of every school.
1
Matters are judged by their intentions
الأُمُورُ بِمَقَاصِدِهَا
Every deed, act of worship and contract is judged by the doer's intention (niyyah). If the intention is good and for Allah, it is rewarded.
📖 Evidence (dalil):
إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ («Actions are only by intentions» — Bukhari & Muslim)
💡 Practical example:
Washing your face just to cool down is not wudu unless you intend (niyyah) wudu for prayer.
2
Certainty is not overruled by doubt
اليَقِينُ لَا يَزُولُ بِالشَّكِّ
Something that has been clearly established is not cancelled by mere uncertain doubt. Certainty is taken as the basis.
📖 Evidence (dalil):
The Prophet ﷺ was asked about someone who doubts whether his wudu has broken, and said: «Do not leave the prayer unless you hear a sound or notice a smell» (Bukhari & Muslim)
💡 Practical example:
If you are sure you made wudu but then doubt whether it has broken, you are still considered to be in wudu.
3
Hardship brings ease
المَشَقَّةُ تَجْلِبُ التَّيْسِيرَ
When a believer faces severe hardship or an unbearable obstacle, Islamic law grants a concession (rukhsah) to lighten the burden.
📖 Evidence (dalil):
يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ («Allah intends ease for you and does not intend hardship» — 2:185)
💡 Practical example:
Praying seated when your legs are injured, combining and shortening prayers on a long journey, and tayammum when there is no water.
4
Harm must be removed
الضَّرَرُ يُزَالُ
Any act or condition that causes harm, damage or pain to life, property, health or society must be prevented and removed.
📖 Evidence (dalil):
لَا ضَرَرَ وَلَا ضِرَارَ («There should be neither harm nor reciprocating harm» — Ibn Majah & Ahmad)
💡 Practical example:
Banning the sale of defective goods, dumping rubbish that disturbs neighbours, and smoking that destroys health.
5
Custom is a basis for judgement
العَادَةُ مُحَكَّمَةٌ
A community's customs, traditions and ways of life that do not contradict the Quran and Sunnah can serve as a basis for rulings and contracts.
📖 Evidence (dalil):
خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ («Take what is given freely and enjoin what is good» — 7:199)
💡 Practical example:
Setting the amount of mahr (dowry) according to local custom, and setting working hours by agreement.
