Abstract
This research examines the impact of the objectives of Shari’ah on asserting rights and managing their accumulation, through three main sections and a conclusion. The first section defines the objectives of Shari’ah and their types. The second section clarifies the concept of rights and their types, While the third section focuses on illustrating the impact of these objectives on rights by examining their role in establishing rights and managing their accumulation, particularly in cases where rights overlap. The conclusion includes findings, notably: 1.Specific and partial objectives of Shari’ah can be relied upon to justify and derive rulings, particularly when textual evidence is lacking for new issues and circumstances. The interconnectedness between Shari’ah evidences and their objectives is essential and should not be overlooked when addressing new situations and deriving legal rulings. 2.Deriving rulings based on the reasons behind the objectives of Shari’ah is evident in several of its types, thereby confirming many rights firmly, due to the close relationship between judgment and rights. The researcher recommends studying the relationship between objectives and different jurisprudential theories, such as contract theory, commitment theory, and emergency situation theory, considering the direct and indirect effects of Shari’ah objectives on issues and aspects of each theory.
