"Christianity, Islam, Modernity Talal Asad. Safwat insists that such reforms are not
contrary to the fundamental principles of the shar'a, and proposes a
reexamination of the basic sources of that law: Qur'an (the divinely revealed text),
sunna (the tradition of the Prophet), ijmā' (consensus of scholars), and qiyās (
analogical reasoning). Since analogy is not a source but a method of reasoning,
it can be set aside, he says. Further ..."
