Hukuncin shari'a (ahkaam) na doka da ke cikin waɗancan shari'o'in (shara'i) da suka zo gabanin shari'armu su ne nau'i huɗu:

The legislative Ahkaam (rulings) found in those Sharee’ahs (Sharaa’i) that came previously to our Sharee’ah are of four types:

1 – Abin da yake a cikin Shari'armu, aka sanya shi wajibi ko sunna a kanmu, kamar yadda aka sanya shi wajibi ko sunna a kan al'ummomin da suka gabata. Idan muka ɗauki hukunce-hukunce irin wannan, muna yin hakan ne kawai saboda an ambace su a cikin Shari'armu, ba saboda an same su a cikin Shari'ar waɗanda suka gabace mu ba.

1 – That which is found (or mentioned) within our Sharee’ah and was made Fard or Sunnah upon us just as it had been made Fard or Sunnah upon the previous nations. When we take Ahkaam like this we only do so because they have been mentioned within our Sharee’ah and not because they were found within the Sharee’ah of those who preceded us.
