التطبيقات المعاصرة في القواعد الفقهية Contemporary applications in jurisprudential rules

Abstract

Law, like every other social concept, is not amenable to a straight-jacketed definition. This is because the concept has been defined by philosophers, jurists, scholars and commentators from variegated sets of backgrounds which reflect in the positions canvassed and claims made about law. It is not in dispute, and there seems to be an unusual unanimity among scholars, that law is a tool for the maintenance of law and order, peace and stability, as well as the regulation of the behavior and activities of human beings in the society.
