The Ruling's Correspondence with its Legitimate Objective.

Abstract

The methods by which the purposes of the lawgiver are reached in its rulings are considered one of the most important topics  in the science of Maqasid, and this is why many of those who have been concerned with this science have studied this research. Some contemporaries have argued that rotation is also a way of revealing the reasons for the rulings, as it is also a way of revealing the purposes of the rulings. This research came to elaborate on this issue, and also deals with the real relationship between the provisions of the Shari'ah and its purposes.

   I have concluded that rotation is neither a method for uncovering the purposes of the rulings, nor a condition for their validity. The correct relationship between the ruling and its legitimate purpose is that the ruling remains legitimate as long as it fulfills the purpose of its legislation in general, that is, even if this purpose does not apply to the ruling in some persons, and if we are certain that the ruling no longer fulfills the purpose of its legislation in all persons, then its survival is devoid of the wisdom of the street in downloading the rulings.
