Even though the Koran and the Sunna are assumed as the primary sources of Islamic law (qath‘îy), there is a lot of famous ulama and Muslim scholars who placed mashlahah as the primary sources of Islamic jurisprudence. Moreover, even though the position of mashlahah is assumed zhanniy, butin various cases – especially in Islamic Private Law – it is seldom placed higher than the other methods such as ijma‘, qiyas, istihsân, istishhâb, syadd al-dzari‘ah, syar‘u man qablana, and ‘urf. He used a logical of law that everything from God can be referred to the sacred texts (Nash), and everything from human being can be solved by mashlahah.
