⭐ In the context of *ʿurf*, how does Islamic jurisprudence utilize the *Qur'an and Sunnah* when establishing legal rulings?

Islamic jurisprudence prioritizes the *Qur'an and Sunnah* as foundational texts, but recognizes *ʿurf* as a valid source for legal rulings in situations where the primary texts do not offer explicit guidance or when *ʿurf* can provide further context.

⭐ Core Definition: Qur'an and Sunnah

The hadith of the thaqalayn (Arabic: حديث الثقلين, lit. 'saying of the two treasures') refers to a statement, attributed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad, that introduces the Quran, the principal religious text in Islam, and his progeny as the only two sources of divine guidance after his death. Widely reported by both Shia and Sunni authorities, the hadith of the thaqalayn is of particular significance in Twelver Shia, where their Twelve Imams are viewed as the spiritual and political successors of Muhammad.

👉 Qur'an and Sunnah in the context of Urf

ʿUrf (Arabic: العرف) is an Arabic Islamic term referring to the custom, or 'knowledge', of a given society. It can also be translated as customary law. To be recognized in an Islamic society, ʿurf must in principle be compatible with Sharia, but in practice tensions sometimes exist between the representatives of ʿurf and those of Sharia. When applied, it can lead to the deprecation or inoperability of a certain aspect of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence).

ʿUrf is a source of Islamic legal rulings where there are no explicit primary texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah specifying the ruling, making it a form of customary law. ʿUrf can also specify something generally established in the primary texts.
