The approach of the Sunnis and the community in dealing with doctrinal issues

Abstract

I divided the research into an introduction and four sections: The first section: Definition of doctrinal issues and the ruling on issuing a fatwa on them: I defined what is meant by the issue and that it must be referred to the legal principles, and I also explained the ruling on issuing a fatwa when it occurs. The second section: History of the emergence of the science of doctrinal issues and an explanation of its types. I mentioned the beginning of the emergence of the science of doctrinal issues, then I explained its types. The third section: The importance of knowing doctrinal issues, their fields, and the contemporary methods used in them. I explained the importance of ijtihad in doctrinal issues, then I explained that ijtihad is not in every issue, but rather in what there is no text in new matters. Then I explained the methods used by contemporaries in dealing with doctrinal issues. As for the fourth topic: Controls of the positions of jurisprudence of doctrinal emergencies among the people of Sunnah and Jama'ah: I mentioned in it the conditions that must be met by those who undertake to issue fatwas on doctrinal emergencies, then I mentioned the most important controls that the mujtahid must observe before and during the ruling on the fatwa. At the end of the research, I reached the most important results: - The conditions that must be met by those who undertake to issue fatwas on doctrinal emergencies are: resorting to Allah Almighty and asking Him for assistance and success, ensuring that it has occurred, that the emergencies are among the issues that are permissible to consider, understanding the emergencies accurately, verifying and investigating and consulting specialists. - The controls that the mujtahid must observe while ruling on a doctrinal emergencies are: striving to search for the legal ruling on the doctrinal emergencies, observing the objectives of the Sharia, clarity and explanation in issuing fatwas, consulting scholars and discussing with them the new doctrinal emergencies.
