The Impact of Considering Intentions in the Jurisprudential Reasonings of Umar ibn Al-Khattab - Applied Foundational Study-

Abstract

This research aims to elucidate the importance of intentions in Islamic law and their role in the application of Sharia rulings through the ascertainment of the relevant factors that reveal these intentions. It also endeavors to demonstrate the cognitive integration between the science of Islamic jurisprudence and the humanities, by clarifying the relationship between the ascertainment of specific factors and psychology, as well as the connection between customs and sociology.

Moreover, the study explores the significance of the jurisprudential insights of Umar ibn Al-Khattab and his diverse methodologies of ijtihad intended to achieve the Sharia ruling that conforms to the objectives of the Islamic lawgiver by taking into account intentions. This aspect is illuminated through examples of Umar's ijtihad that are founded on this principle, analyzing them and highlighting the importance of considering intentions and their role in his ijtihad and in the application of Sharia rulings. This approach has significantly contributed to fulfilling the objectives of Sharia.
