Al-Ihkam fi Usul al-Ahkam (Ibn Hazm)

الإحكام في أصول الأحكام

Ibn Hazm's articulation of Zahiri legal methodology, rejecting qiyas (analogy) and emphasizing the apparent meaning of texts. A brilliant and controversial work that challenges the legal theories of the other schools with sharp logic and vast textual evidence. Essential reading for understanding Islamic legal pluralism.
