Salokhiddin U. Kurbonov ,

Abstract

This article analyzes the formation, development and main sources of Arabic terminology in the field of Islamic law (fiqh). Islamic law terms are derived from the texts of the Quran and Hadith, and later improved by jurisprudential schools and scholars. The article analyzes the meaning of Islamic legal terms, their historical development process and their place in jurisprudential sources. It also discusses the main sources of Islamic law - the Quran, Sunnah, Ijma' and Qiyas, as well as jurisprudential dictionaries and legal treatises. The study offers important methodological approaches for studying and fully understanding the terminology of Islamic law.  

Keywords
