This is the reality upon which the Hukm is issued upon in the Aayah or the Hadeeth or the Ijmaa’. Therefore, the origin (Asl) in the first example is the steeds of war and the second example it is trading. As such the following is stipulated in respect to the Asl:

- The Asl upon which the Qiyaas is based must have been mentioned in a Nass (text) from the Kitaab, the Sunnah or be an Ijmaa’.

- Analogy is not made upon an origin where its Hukm has been established by Qiyaas. So in the example of the Jumu’ah prayer analogy is not made upon Ijaarah (renting/leasing) but rather Qiyaas is only undertaken upon the origin which is Al-Bai’ (trade).

It is the reality that the knowledge of its Hukm is sought after through making Qiyaas upon the origin.

It is stipulated in respect to this Far’u (branch):

- That the branch (Al-Far’u) does not have a text for its Hukm. If there was already a text for its Hukm then there would be no need for us to seek its Hukm by way of Qiyaas as there is no Qiyaas in the place of the text.

- That the ‘Illah is realised within the Far’u (branch) just as it is realised within the Asl. So in the case where the ‘Illah (reason) for the Tahreem (prohibition) of conducting trade at the time of the call to prayer for the Jumu’ah prayer is Al-Ilhaa’ (distraction), then if distraction was realised in the actions of leasing or practising a sporting activity then they would take the Hukm (legal ruling) of the Asl (origin) which is Tahreem. This is because if the ‘Illah of the Asl was not realised within the Far’u then it would not be possible to provide the Hukm of the origin to the branch.
