Is all this enough if i write this in a question that is supposed like this:
5 Choose any two of the four Imams after whom the Madhahib [schools of law] are named and
(a) discuss the main principles of their legal teachings [12]
and
(b) explain any differences between these two sets of principles. [8]

yes this would be the perfect answer InShaALlah :) i hope !!!
i wrote this in the mock exam and i got 14/20 :p :)

Can you elaborate on Urf and istislah? because the notes uploaded here mention this:
oIstislaah: Human welfare
§Like Istihsaan
§Eg.. Ali’s ruling on whole party guilty of murder even though one committed it…. Collect tax from rich other than Zakaat
oUrf(Customs)

§Syria…Daabba for horse but whereas in Arabic it means 4 legged animal.. so if transaction contract with Syrian…

yes i know about urf , my sir had told!
ya "dabba" is known as a horse all around the world , in general , but in syria when someone says "dabba" they mean any 4 legged animal , so if anyone is makig any dealings on buying or selling dabba in syria then they sholud be ell aware that it can be any four legged animal and not a horse. taking this into consideration imam malik has said that it will not be wrong on a persons behalf if he sells a goat(or any four legged animal) i syria in the name of dabba , because its a custom and tradition there to call any for legged animal "dabba"..................................i hope u understand.

concerning istislah , i am sorry even i am not well aware of it!!:unsure::notworthy::( AAnsarii pls help :) 1995@10Sept u too!

Give reasons to explain why al-Ash‘ari is regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of early Islam.
Imam Shafi’I (Most imp of all early legal experts) :
Background:
· Towering figure in sciences of fiqh
· Giant among giants of the scholars of religion
· Linguist: adept in giving more insights to Quran and its interpretations
· Other sciences such as medicine, farasaah, geneology apart from fiqh
· Able to relate and analyze Quraan and Sunnah in different lights
· Broadminded

Knowledge:
· Citadels of knowledge: Makkah: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah and language of bedouins , Madina: Imam Malik(considered best student) , Iraq: Mohd ibn al Hasan ash Shaybani (Abdul Hanif’s(AH) student) Egypt: Layth ibn Sad
· Imam Malik’s Muwatta- memorised all of it
· Layth ibn Sad: more knowledgeable and better than Malik and Abdul Hanif

What makes it different?
· So, comprehensive school of thought due to his travel as Malik only focused on Madinah, Abdul Hanif from Kufa
· Consisted of the cream of all the Madhahibs (best and most authentic of all; formulated into own Madhab)
· Encompassed fiqh of other schools of thought from teachers (direct and indirect)
· Criticism: Valid Criticism of Abdul Hanif, debate with Shaybani and Al Umm, pointed out mistakes of Malik
· Sources of law straightforward and concise unlike the other schools of thought

Ar Risalah ( relationship between Quran and Sunnah):
o Quran : for supplying raw material for legislation, sole authority to consider anything halal and haram, more deeper insight, Quran clear although some parts more clearer than others, Explicit and implicit verses of Quran
o About 200 citations from Quran in Risalah
o Sunnah : source of law: draws heavily on it in formulating his rules and maxims of law
o Quran can only abrogate Quran, likewise Sunnah abrogates Sunnah, Quran abrogates Sunnah only after a Sunnah itself first abrogates the Sunnah
o Sunnah explains Quran
o Quran and Sunnah 3 basic relations:
§ Specific legal provision in text of Quran like basic duties owed to God: Salat, Zakat, adultery, Ramadhaan, prohibited foods (Sunnah conforms with it)
§ Ambiguous meanings: clarified and certain provisions whose mode of observances have been made clear by Prophet e.g. No of Rakat, timing, wudhu,
§ Prophet’s Sunnah: no defined ruling from Quran or no supporting text but a general command to obey the Prophet. “So whoever obeys Messenger obeys Allah” another e.g. change of Qiblah, earlier face Jerusalem no verse
§ Ijtihad
o Quran: chop of hands for theft but Sunnah limit of ¼ dinar worth of stolen good
o Quran: Inheritance after debts and bequests and Sunnah: only a 1/3rd of property and debt precedence
o Sunnah : inspired and is part of revelation
o indivisual opinion of the sahaba: mentioned all opinions of all sahabas but gave his own personal opinion at the end

Other sources of law:
o Ijma: Rare. To be recorded according to him as passed down, he doubted it but however recounted few cases of Ijmaa and thus gave it no 3 position
o Individual opinion of Sahabah: if differences then closest to source and most fitting one chosen
o Qiyaas is analogical deduction, however he placed it last in order of preference as Quran, Sunnah and Sahabah’s opinion
o Istishaab(seeking a link): rejected Malik’s Istislaah and Abdul Hanif’s Istihsaan as Bidaah however Istishaab based on linking a later set of circumstances with an earlier set was accepted.
(Fiqhi laws applicable to certain conditions remain valid so long there it is certain that these conditions have not changed)
Books:

- Al Madhab Al Jadid (called Al Umm , earlier it was Al Madhab Al Kadim, he wrote this book to remove mistakes of his teacher Imam Malik (in syria , people considered him to be greater than the prophet) , Ar Risalah (written in response to the allegation raised by hanifs)

Is it okay?

It is said that Imam al-Shafi‘i was the most important of the early legal experts.
