Istihsaan ba tare da duba Adillah na Shari'a ba yana nufin yin hukunci da son rai kawai," kuma game da Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah ya ce: "Idan kuwa Shaari' ya bayar da hujja a kanta, to tana kama da Istihsaan."

1 – The Maslahah that does not have a specific (Khaass) Daleel for it from the Shar’a represents a kind of relish and desire. Al-Ghazaaliy said: “We know definitely (Qat’an) that the ‘Aalim should not judge by his desire and appetite without paying regard to the indications of the Adillah (evidences). Al-Istihsaan without looking into the Adilllah of the Shar’a represents passing a judgement by the desire alone (or purely)” and in respect to Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah he said: “And if the Shaari’ does provided evidence for it then it is like the Istihsaan”.
