Maqasid ash-Shari'ah
مقاصد الشريعة الإسلامية
The most important modern work on the objectives of Islamic law, building on ash-Shatibi's foundation. Ibn Ashur argues for making maqasid an independent discipline of Islamic law, not merely a subsidiary of usul al-fiqh. His work renewed scholarly interest in purpose-based legal reasoning.
