Description

In Islam, values, rules, acts and legal commandments vary widely in the eyes of Islamic Law in terms of their priority. Some are viewed as essential and others subsidiary, some as fundamental pillars and others complementary.

A disorder has afflicted our nation in such a way that the unimportant is now given more attention over the important, the small is magnified and the significant is belittled. Many Muslims are extremely cautious of minor sins, while they underrate committing the major sins. All this makes the Muslim nation in a critical need for the jurisprudence of priorities; in a critical need to study it in depth and discuss it, until they are ready to do what is good.

This unique and important book addresses this disorder and aims to set the fundamentals by which rules, values or acts are given their due status and priority based on the correct legal criteria derived from the light of Divine Revelation. The book is a translation of the Arabic book “Fiqh Al-Awlawiyyat" by Sh Yusuf Al Qaradawi.

About the author
Sheikh Dr Yusuf Al Qaradawi
Head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars
Yusuf Al-Qaradawi is a preeminent Egyptian scholar. Articulate and widely read, he is one of the most famous scholars of Islam.
 

Yusuf al-Qaradawi (Arabic: يوسف القرضاوي Yūsuf al-Qaraḍāwī‎; or Yusuf al-Qardawi; born 9 September 1926) is an Egyptian Islamic theologian, and chairman of the International Union of Muslim Scholars.[1] He is best known for his programme, al-Sharīʿa wa al-Ḥayāh ("Shariah and Life"), broadcast on Al Jazeera, which has an estimated audience of 60 million worldwide.[2][3] He is also well known for IslamOnline, a popular website he helped found in 1997 and for which he now serves as chief religious scholar.[4]
Al-Qaradawi has published more than 120 books, including The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam and Islam: The Future Civilization. He has also received eight international prizes for his contributions to Islamic scholarship,[5] and is considered one of the most influential such scholars living today.[2][6][7] Al-Qaradawi has long had a prominent role within the intellectual leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood,[8] an Egyptian political organization, but twice (in 1976 and 2004) turned down offers for the official role in the organization.[2][9]
Some of al-Qaradawi's views have been controversial in the West:[10] he was refused an entry visa to the United Kingdom in 2008, and barred from entering France in 2012.

As of 2004, al-Qaradawi was a trustee of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. He also served as a consultant scholar for an epic movie in English on Muhammad, and a 30-part series on the second caliph 'Umar b. al-Khațțāb.
