Ans: The primary 

sources of Islamic law are the Holy Book (The Quran), The Sunnah (the


traditions or known practices of the Prophet Muhammad ), Ijma' (Consensus), and Qiyas
(Analogy

C : Ans: ‘
Qiyas. In Islamic jurisprudence, qiyās is the process of deductive analogy in which the
teachings of the Hadith are compared and contrasted with those of the Qur'an, in order
to apply a known injunction to a new circumstance and create a new injunction.

Criteria to be eligible to exercise Qiyas


In order for Qiyas to be used in Islamic law, three things are necessary. First, there must
be a new case for which the Quran and Sunna of the Prophet do not provide a clear
ruling. Second, there must be an original case which was resolved using a hukm, or
ruling, from the Quran, Sunna, or the process of Ijma

Example :  An example of the use of qiyās is the case of the ban on selling or buying of goods after
the last call for Friday prayers until the end of the prayer stated in the Quran 62:9. By analogy this
prohibition is extended to other transactions and activities such as agricultural work and
administration.[1] Among Sunni Muslim in recent centuries Qiyas has been accepted as a
fundamental source of Sharia law along with Ijmāʿ and secondary to the Qur'an, and the Sunna
