Rationalization Based on Wisdom and its Relation to the Authority of Unrestricted Public Interests

Abstract

The importance of defining the meanings of fundamentalist terms and differentiating between their realities, especially if they overlap. This is why the science of fundamentalist differences is one of the most accurate and prestigious sciences of the Shari'ah, because it compares   between  similarities that can only be distinguished by the best scholars. This research came to compare two important terms used by the scholars of Usul and the people of Ijtihad, namely, reasoning by wisdom or interest and invoking   with  sent interest.

There is a similarity between these two terms in that both of them are justification and evidence based on interest. However, the difference between them lies in the fact that reasoning  by wisdom is related to the ruling mentioned in the texts of the Sharia, so its cause is sought by knowing the wisdom behind its legislation, and then others are compared to it. As for the sent  interest, is related to the ruling that is not mentioned in the Sharia, so it is legislated based on its achievement of this interest.
