Ar-Risalah fi Usul al-Fiqh (Shafi'i)

الرسالة في أصول الفقه

By Imam ash-Shafi'i820 CE1 volumes

The first systematic work on Islamic legal theory ever written. Ash-Shafi'i laid out the hierarchy of legal sources (Quran, Sunnah, ijma, qiyas) and defined the methodology for deriving rulings. This revolutionary work created usul al-fiqh as a distinct discipline and influenced all subsequent legal thought.
