THE TEACHING OF SHARIAH AND CIVIL LAW: AN APPROACH IN THE DALALAT AL-ALFAZ DEBATE IN USUL FIQH

Abstract

Discussion of Dalalat al-Alfaz is vital in Usul Fiqh. It refers to the understanding of lafz in Quran and Sunnah. Conventionally, discussion on Dalalat al-Alfaz is merely taught to comprehend the meaning of lafz in al-Quran and Sunnah. Conversely, Dr. Abdul Karim Zaydan in his book "Al-Wajiz fi Usul al-Fiqh" applied the concept of Dalalat al-Alfaz to comprehend alfaz in Egyptian and Iraqis laws. This article attempts to initiate a practical method in teaching Usul Fiqh to students by applying the maxims in Dalalat al-Alfaz to comprehend the Shariah dan civil law in Malaysia. It attempts to familiarize the students with these two laws. With that, ultimately, the students are competent to comprehend the theory of Dalalat al-Alfaz and apply it in reading Shariah and civil law in Malaysia, for having enhanced understanding of them.
