这两种方法各有其独特之处。Mutakallimoon（神学家）所确立的原则（Qawaa'id）是从各分支中剥离出来的，而Fuqahaa（法学家）所确立的原则则是以各分支为指引、并从各分支中推导而来的。两种方法或途径各自都有其优点和特性，这些是另一种方法所不具备的。

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.

一些《法理学原理》（Usool ul-Fiqh）的作者将两种方法结合起来，他们取各方法的长处，同时舍弃那些受到批评的部分。

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.
