نظرة الشاطبي إلى العام و تخصيصه من خلال كتابه "الموافقات" : دراسة تحليلية نقدية

Abstract EN

Imam al-Shatibi is considered one of the most famous figures of Andalusia in the eighth century of Hijrah.

This is because of the unique style and method he followed in dealing with scholarly and legal issues of foundations of jurisprudence and objectives of legislation.

One of his most important books in al-Muwafaqat, where he discussed various issues of foundations of jurisprudence, rules and exceptions, abrogation, qualified and unqualified terms, and reasoning and imitation…etc.

His deep view, clarity, comprehensiveness and remarkable analysis were of the characteristics of his style.

Al-Shatibi discussed the general in the fourth chapter of his book, giving the evidence of the formula of general terms in both language and legislation.

For the adaptation of the general, he selected a unique method which helps in clarifying its concept and removing any obscurity that may be caused by using methods of other theorists of foundations of jurisprudence.

In this paper, the author will investigate and analyze al-Shatibi’s selected method in dealing with the general terms.
