Abstract

Islam took great care to preserve the rights of individuals, eliminate injustice, and prevent some people from transgressing against others.  Because of this, it appointed judges to rule fairly among people in their disputes. Islamic law has shown the methods of proof that the judge must rely on in his rulings. These methods include those on which Muslim jurists have agreed, and those on which they have differed among themselves, and those on which Muslim jurists have differed (may God be pleased with those who have passed away and protect those who remain). Judgment based on circumstantial evidence, and in this research, we will try to show what the jurists see in the Qur’anic verse: is it suitable to be a method of proof? And if we say that, then in what case and field is it used? Is it in all types of cases, or is it specific to a specific type of case in which circumstantial evidence may not be used in any other case?
