Cada um destes dois métodos tem as suas próprias especificidades. Os Mutakallimoon estabeleceram os Qawaa'id (princípios) abstraídos dos ramos, enquanto os Fuqahaa estabeleceram os Qawaa'id guiados e derivados a partir dos ramos. Ambos os métodos ou abordagens têm os seus próprios méritos e especificidades que não se encontram no outro.

Each of these two methods has its own specificities. The Mutakallimoon established the Qawaa’id (principles) stripped from the branches whilst the Fuqahaa established the Qawaa’id guided by and derived from the branches. Both methods or approaches have their own merits and specificities that are not found in the other.

Alguns dos escritores de Usūl al-Fiqh combinaram os dois métodos no caso em que tomaram aquilo em que cada um se distinguia pelos seus méritos, deixando de lado e abandonando aquilo que havia sido alvo de crítica.

Some of the writers in Usool ul-Fiqh combined both methods in the case where they took what each was distinguished by in terms of its merits whilst casting aside and leaving that which criticism had been directed towards.
