SERAHSÎ’NİN el-MEBSÛT ADLI ESERİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE MECÂZ DELİLLERİ
EVIDENCES OF MAJAZ IN ACCORDANCE WITH AL-MABSUT BY AL-SARAKHSI

Summary/Abstract: The literature of the methodology of Islamic Law (Usul al-Fiqh) does not only study the subject of “sources of law”; but also studies Linguistic discussions as well. The subject of “haqiqah-majaz” also takes place in these discussions. al-Sarakhsi, in his book, known as “Usul al-Sarakhsi” which discussed this subject, has counted five situations in a seperate chapter entitled “situations where haqiqah is left”. These situations are listed as “significance of custom”, “significance of word”, “significance of the syntax”, “significance of speaker‟s situation” and finally “the subject of the speech”. In this article we discuss the reflections of these situations titled “evidences of the figurative meaning” written in a book by al-Sarakhsi that is named as al-Mabsut. After discussing these situations, we add to them a further two situations. These are “the impossibility of the real meaning” and “declaration of intent”.
