الشرح المختصر
"Adillah mukhtalaf feehā" (contested proofs) Legal proofs are divided into two categories: 1. "Adillah muttafaq ‘alayhā" (agreed-upon proofs): They include the Qur’an, the Sunnah, "ijmā‘" (consensus), and "qiyās" (analogy). 2. "Adillah mukhtalaf feehā" (contested proofs): They represent a set of discretionary sources of debated authenticity and validity as proofs for legal rulings. These include the statements of the Companions, "istis-hāb" (presumption of continuity of the current state), "istihsān" (juristic preference), "maslahah mursalah" (unattested public interest), laws of previous nations, custom, etc.
