Jurisprudence of Balancing Interests: فقه الموازنة بين المصالح والمفاسد في الشريعة الإسلامية

This book, authored by No'man Ja'eem and Siti Noor Asmah Haji Damit and published by UNISSA Press, offers an in-depth analysis of the critical Islamic legal principle known as fiqh al-muwazanah (the jurisprudence of balancing interests and harms). The work explains how Islamic law prioritizes the realization of benefits (masalih) and the prevention or minimization of harms (mafasid). It is an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in the applied methodology of Usul al-Fiqh (principles of jurisprudence) and Maqasid al-Shariah (objectives of Islamic law).
