Muslim jurisprudence

Muslim jurisprudence, called fiqh, is the living study of Islamic law derived from the Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings of Prophet Muhammad). It guides Muslims on how to live ethically and perform religious duties, covering aspects like prayer, fasting, and commerce. Scholars interpret and apply these sources to evolving situations, using legal reasoning known as ijtihad. Different schools of thought exist, leading to some variations in practice. Overall, fiqh provides a structured framework to promote justice, morality, and community harmony within Islamic teachings.
