Analogical Reasoning (Qiyās Ṭardī) in the Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence and Its Contemporary Applications: Financial and Digital Transactions as a Model

Abstract

      This study aims to explore the nature of qiyās ṭardī (analogical reasoning) from multiple perspectives: first, by analyzing the term within the context of Islamic legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh), and second, by examining its role in addressing contemporary issues that lack specific textual evidence. The study investigates the concept of qiyās ṭardī, its legal authority, and its modern applications, particularly in the fields of financial and digital transactions. Qiyās ṭardī is considered one of the fundamental sources used in deriving Islamic legal rulings, especially in cases where there are no clear texts from the Qur’an or the Sunnah.

      The study concludes that the term qiyās ṭardī varies significantly among scholars of uṣūl depending on their classifications and interpretations. Moreover, qiyās ṭardī plays a significant role in expanding the scope of legal applications and structuring rulings in accordance with established Sharīʿah principles. The research also presents applied models of qiyās ṭardī in digital financial transactions, highlighting its vital role in this area.
