The research consists of an introduction and one main section that includes a preface and four subsections. The introduction explains the importance of knowledge in general and Islamic jurisprudence in particular, due to its significance for the legally accountable person and its role in reforming both the individual and society. The preface provides a definition of the jurisprudential maxim in its linguistic and technical meanings.
