Explanation

There are four fundamental sources of Islamic law:

1. The Qur’an: The primary source of Islamic law, containing Allah’s revelations and fundamental principles for human life.
2. Sunnah: The sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which explain and clarify the Qur’an.
3. Ijma‘ (Consensus): The agreement of qualified Muslim scholars on a legal issue.
4. Qiyas (Analogical Reasoning): Applying an established ruling to a new issue because both share the same effective cause (‘Illah)
