The Classifications of Rulings in the Hanafi Madhab
A Hukm (ruling) Shar’i or a Sharia ruling is established via ‘a communication from the Law Giver (Allah, through His Messenger)’ (Taftzani: At-Talweeh, p.40). There are two aspects to the Hukm Shar’i. When communication is made from Allah or His Prophet SAW in the form of a demand (whether this be a demand to compulsorily or optionally do something or to compulsorily or optionally refrain from something) the Hukm is called ‘Al-Hukm Al-Taklifi’ (defining law or primary law).
