The jurisprudence of Sheikh Al-Mulla Khalil Al-Saarty through his book: “The Crop of Talents, Shoes in the Characteristics and Characteristics of Ahmadiyyat”
Abstract
A prominent, well-known scholar in science and piety, Mullah Khalil Siirti has more than forty works in intellectual and transmitted science. His publications are characterized mainly by sincerity, sacrifice, coherence, and scientific firmness, which he has pursued to serve his religion, fellowmen, and land. Scientifically, his works indicate his extensive knowledge, prosperity, and rigor in the area of jurisprudence. The present research seeks to cast light on the scientific position of this erudite scholar in this area of science and his methods of application of different branches of science to be able to adopt accurate juridical attitudes, correct judgments, and profound perspectives with regard to issues in Islamic jurisprudence. For this purpose, his views and thoughts are extracted from his book Mahsul al-Mawahib al-Ahdiyah fi al-Khasais wa al-Shamail al-Ahmadiyah, recently authored to enumerate the Islamic Prophet’s (PBUH) virtues and merit. It should be noted that Siirti’s mastery over different branches of science has led him to address a range of issues from various disciplines in his statement of scientific points in the book. Another significant aspect of the book involves the expression of views on different topics based on jurisprudence, included here and there to further the reader’s benefit and indicate the high position of Islamic law and jurisprudence. The present descriptive-analytical research seeks to reveal Sheikh Siirti’s position in jurisprudence. For that purpose, discussion is made along three lines: his preferences in application of jurisprudence to different areas, his methods of assessment and criticism of the perspectives in jurisprudence, and his collection of contrastive religious text referred to on the Prophet’s practices with scientific aspects and jurisprudence approaches. Furthermore, his attitudes toward and precise accounts of different issues concerning jurisprudence are addressed here to clarify his position in the presentation of the principles of jurisprudence and fundamental issues therein.
