This is for you to assist you in making the Usool firmly and deeply  rooted, the thoughts deeper and also as a motivation towards  Ijtihaad....

Al-Waadih Fee Usool ul-Fiqh

Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah is a concept in Islamic jurisprudence that refers to unrestricted public interest or benefit. It involves the acquisition of benefit or the repulsion of harm for the preservation of the purposes of Islamic law in the settlement of legal issues[14]. There are three main groups among the Fuqahaa (Islamic jurists) regarding the adoption or utilization of Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah[14]: Group 1: They deny Qiyaas (analogy) and do not see any Maslahah (benefit) outside of the explicit texts of Shariah. They assert that there is no Maslahah except what the text has brought[14]. Group 2: They seek Masaalih (benefits) from the texts and make analogy with every subject in which the Maslahah is realized upon the subject that has a text including the Maslahah. They consider the regulators in which this Maslahah is realized in most cases to be an ‘Illah (cause) of Al-Qiyaas[14]. Group 3: They view that the Masaalih Al-Mursalah are the Masaalih that are in line with the Maqaasid (objectives) of the Shaari’ (legislator) and do not have a specific origin in terms of consideration or cancellation. If there was a specific origin evidenced, then it would enter within the generalness of Al-Qiyaas, and if there was a specific origin evidenced with cancellation, then it would be considered invalid[14]. Al-Imaam Maalik, an Islamic scholar, was a proponent of taking and utilizing Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah. He stipulated four conditions for its employment or reference[14]: The Maslahah Al-Mursalah should be fitting and in line with the Maqaasid of the Shaari’ and should not oppose an origin from the Usool (fundamentals) of Islamic law. The Maslahah Al-Mursalah should be reasonable and acceptable in itself. Taking the Maslahah Al-Mursalah should remove hardship in cases where not taking it would cause difficulty or hardship for the people. The Maslahah should be for the general public good and not limited to a certain group, faction, or person[14]. The acceptance and recognition of Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah as an origin in Islamic law differ among the Muslim Fuqahaa[14]: The Hanafiyah and the Shaafi’iyah do not consider it to be an origin in its own right but include it within the chapter of Al-Qiyaas. Without a specific text (Nass) indicating the Maslahah, it would be rejected and considered cancelled[14]. The Maalikiyah and the Hanaabilah consider and take Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah as long as it fulfills the four conditions mentioned previously. It represents the realization of the Maqaasid of the Shaari’, even without a specific text for it.
