The first proof named is al-Kitab, the Qur’an. Legal methodology asks how particular Qur’anic wording can establish a practical ruling.
For example, the Qur’an commands prayer. A methodological inquiry examines how imperative wording signifies a duty and under which conditions that implication applies.
Not every verse conveys a practical ruling in the same way. A verse's subject, language and context matter to proper legal inference.
