Fiqh is an Islamic legal system based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, which are the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. It is derived from the Arabic word for “understanding” and is the science of Islamic jurisprudence. It is the body of Islamic law that governs all aspects of daily life, including marriage, inheritance, business, and worship. Fiqh is based on the understanding of Islamic scholars and jurists who interpret the Qur’an and Sunnah to extract rulings that apply to modern-day life.
