eg  :   The present study is an attempt to highlight the close connection between the field of principles of jurisprudence and the Arabic language sciences; this is due to the fact that the noble revelation were in the language of Arand this in turn made inferring legal judgments to be based on competence of the Arabic language sciences.

As a result, it is noticed that scholars of principles of jurisprudence have embedded in their books several linguistic chapters relating to deduction.

This shows the significance of investigating the real and figurative meaning and the conditions where the lexical item hovers between both of them.

  The study aims at identifying the cases of hesitation between the real and figurative meaning in a way that defines each case and clarifies the differences among the cases.

It shows the cases when the real meaning outweighs the figurative meaning and vice versa, and also when the lexical item includes both meanings.

  The present study adopts the deductive approach to identify cases and opinions on them.

It uses the critical approach to compare the schools of thought of the scholars of principles of jurisprudence.

It also adopts the analytical approach to analyze the cases where hesitation between the real and figurative meaning occurs in the texts of revelation or in the sayings of legally competent obligated persons.

  The most important conclusion arrived at is that the effect of the efforts exerted by the scholars of principles of jurisprudence to make rules is more highlighted than their efforts in the practical aspect of this topic.

When hesitation between the real and figurative meaning occurs, there should be a clarification of the opinions and rules of the scholars of principles of jurisprudence in this regard, so as to be able to hold a proper position to decide which meaning outweighs the other in the context in which it occurs.
