Abstract

This study argues that the formation of Sunni Islamic legal epistemology between the eighth and eleventh centuries CE cannot be adequately understood as a passive reception of Greco-Hellenistic rational traditions. Instead, it emerged through a complex process of internal methodological negotiation within the Islamic intellectual tradition. Rather than wholesale adoption of Aristotelian or Neoplatonic modes of reasoning, Muslim jurists selectively appropriated and critically reconfigured rational tools within the normative and epistemic framework of uṣūl al-fiqh, thereby generating a distinct form of legal rationality grounded in revelation, linguistic analysis, and juristic practice. Employing a postcolonial methodological inquiry, this study challenges earlier Orientalist interpretations that reduced Islamic jurisprudence to Roman or Hellenistic precedents, arguing that such accounts overlook the autonomy and internal dynamics of Islamic legal thought. The findings highlight the active epistemic agency of Muslim scholars who, through concepts such as qiyās and ʿillah, constructed a coherent system of legal reasoning while negotiating sociopolitical contexts, textual authority, and intellectual power structures. This study concludes that Sunni legal rationality developed through creative transformation rather than derivative reception, reaffirming the methodological autonomy and intellectual originality of Islamic law within the broader history of global legal traditions.

Abstract

This study examines the epistemological role of the Arabic language in the formulation of al-qawāʿid al-fiqiyyah (legal maxims) and its implications for the validity and authority of Islamic law. The central inquiry addresses the extent to which Arabic functions not merely as a medium of expression, but as a methodological structure in the construction of legal maxims. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, this research applies linguistic and normative analysis to explore the relationship between the Qur’anic and Prophetic texts and the formulation of legal maxims. The findings demonstrate that the disciplines of naḥw (syntax) and ṣarf (morphology) play a crucial role in preserving semantic precision within the primary legal sources, which, through the process of takhrīj al-aḥkām (derivation of rulings) and systematic abstraction, give rise to universal legal principles (al-aḥkām al-kulliyyah) articulated as legal maxims. The concise yet semantically dense structure of Arabic enables the formulation of comprehensive principles encompassing diverse subsidiary legal cases. The Arabic redaction of al-qawāʿid al-fiqiyyah constitutes an integral component of their normative construction and legal legitimacy, while translation functions primarily as an explanatory instrument within pedagogical contexts.
