[quote]Brother Shan,
Quote:-I strongly disagree with the author of the link you provided.

He has said, "The term SHARI'AH means all of the Islamic Laws. For a practicing Muslim it is also necessary to understand that there are 4 basic sources that the Shari'ah is derived. {1} The Holy Quran {2} Sunnah {3} Ij'ma {consensus} of the Companions {Sahabah} may Allah be pleased with them all. {4} Qiyas {Analogical deduction}."

The shariah is what was revealed to prophet (pbuh) and he passed this on to his companions and his companions passed it on to the later generations of Muslims by the process of tawatur.

Reply:-I gives you an example here. There is no order to keep beard in Quran.But we find this in the sayings of Prophet(pbuh) or in (Sunnah) to keep bear. But still the size of beard is not there in the Sunnah.Then we go for the third option since no information is available 1)in Quran and 2) in Sunnah regarding the size of beards. This we find in the 3)Sahabah.

Now I give you another example here. The world is changing rapidly. Organ transplantation is possible now and this going on for quite a long time. Now the direction for organ transplant is not there in  1) Quran 2)Sunnah 3)Action of Sahabah.Now only left the forth option 4) Qiyas.This would be carried out by Scholars of today. Islam is a religion forever. So Islam must be able to give the answer of today’s and tomorrow’s needs.

Both these examples will fall under the Shariah.So Sharia is rightly defined up there.
