4. Qiyaas (analogical reasoning)

٤. القياس (الاستدلال بالمماثلة) وأهميته في الفقه الإسلامي

Imam Abu Haneefah was famous for using Qiyas over weak ahadeeth. This is using analogy from ruling already found in the texts to derive new rulings. So this is done by finding the illah (cause of a ruling) and then you see if it exists in a new case. It is also called Ra’i or intellectual reasoning as you apply old rulings to new cases. So if they did not have hadith, they did not say Allahu ‘Alem but instead used their reasoning to derive rulings.
