  1. Question 1

    Q1. The "Illa" in Qiyas refers to:

    • A) The original case from which analogy is drawn
    • B) The effective cause or rationale shared between original and new case
    • C) The ruling derived through analogical reasoning
    • D) The scholar who performs the analogical reasoning

    Answer: The effective cause or rationale shared between original and new case

    Explanation: In Qiyas (analogical reasoning), the Illa (effective cause or ratio legis) is the shared characteristic between the original case (asl) and the new case (far') that justifies extending the ruling. For example, the Illa for prohibiting wine is intoxication, which extends the prohibition to all intoxicants.
