Özet:

The main purpose of Islamic law is to eliminate the difficulties of life and to provide a livable life for humanity by offering facilitating principles. However, the assessment of advantage and avoidance, which concern the happiness of the world and the hereafter, should be in harmony with the principles of the Islamic Sharia. This responsibility falls on scholars who have assimilated the legacy of the Qur'an and Sunnah well and understood the aims of Islamic law. Today, those who are not aware of the importance and vitality of this subject consider the researches and efforts as a result of the imposition of time or surrendering to the general acceptances of the age. However, those who work in detail on the subject will see that these studies are one of the important subjects of Islamic law. Moreover, the weak nature of human beings necessitates the preference of the principle of facilitation in Islamic law to difficulty and distress. Therefore, some people put different opinions on this issue forth. While some believe that there is no room for facilitation in Islam and that extremism and directing people to hardship and challenge will serve the religion of Islam; while others advocate facilitating with a purely permissive mindset. Considering that fiqh has had the knowledge and ability to make Islamic law livable in every era, it will be understood that these two extreme views are not related to the principle of advantage and facilitation in Islamic law. The main feature of the religion of Islam is that it commands to be balanced and restrained in every matter without extremism. The convection of these features will be passed on to new researchers and generations is inevitable. Islamic law aimed to protect the five main criteria such as religion, life, mind, generation and property in order to keep alive the honor given to man by Allah. These five criteria are called "Zarūrāt-ı khamsa" and have been emphasized by Islamic jurists.
