Qiyas

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Qiyas
An Arabic term for analogy. Qiyas is used in Islamic law to deal with new situations as they arise. For example, the Quran forbids the use of alcohol but does not mention narcotics. Because alcohol and narcotics are both intoxicating, one may use qiyas to determine that Islamic law forbids narcotics as well. This has implications in Islamic finance.

Every student of Islam knows this Hadith: "I am leaving two everlasting precious things among you, one is Qur'an another is the Ahl al Bait" The learned scholar of Ahl al Bait explains that we can not separate both from each other nor can we follow Qiyas and Rai, which creates clouds of doubts.
Ijma(consensus of opinion) and Qiyas (analogical deduction)and Ijtehad (independent juristic reasoning) are the secondary sources of Islamic law.
