A fiqh question: What is the religious ruling concerning a particular act?
An usul question: Which legal proof and interpretive principle support deriving that ruling?
For example, knowing that prayer is obligatory concerns a practical ruling. Investigating how an imperative form in the Qur’an indicates an obligation is a methodological question.
The disciplines are related: legal methodology supports the reasoning by which fiqh rulings are established.
