Qiyosga qarshi dalillar asosan zohiriy (adabiy ma'noga tayanuvchi) maktab tomonidan bayon etilgan, shuningdek mu'tazilaning ba'zi vakillari, jumladan Ibrohim al-Nazzom tomonidan ham. Shuningdek, prinsip jihatdan, Shia imomiyya qiyosning haqiqiyligini tan olmaydi, chunki ularning fikricha qiyos sof taxmin bo'lib, undan saqlanish kerak. Bundan tashqari, shia ulamolarining fikricha, Qur'on, Sunnat va imomlarning hukmlari xulq-atvor uchun yetarli yo'riqnoma beradi, shuning uchun qiyosga murojaat qilish keraksiz va asossizdir.14

The arguments against Qiyas have been articulated mainly by the Zahiri (literalist) school, and some amongst the Mu'tazilah, including, Ibrahim al-Nazzam. Also in principle, the Shi‟a Imamiyyah do not recognise the validity of Qiyas, as they maintain that Qiyas is pure conjecture which must be avoided. In addition, the Quran, the Sunnah and the rulings of the Imams, according to the Shi'i Ulema, provide sufficient guidance for conduct, and any reference to Qiyas is unnecessary and unwarranted.14
