İSLÂM HUKUKUNDA DİNÎ HÜKÜM-LERİ HAFİFLETEN UMÛMÜ'L-BELVÂ

Sharia (Islamic law) does not assign obligants responsibility above their powers; on the contrary, it wishes to ease their lives and responsibilities. In this con-text, the principle of convenience is among the fundamental principles of Islam. It is possible for people to encounter various distress and hardships that they cannot keep away from and common among them such as cleaning, prayer and commerce. It is necessary to ease or remove provisions by managing the principle of convenien-ce to relieve people from such hardship like umûmü'l-belvâ (public issue). There are proof in the Islamic law statements (which are from Qur'an or Sunnah) that refer to umûmü'l-belvâ easing provisions. Islamic legists produced solutions by choosing to ease the provision through umûmü'l-belvâ considering these proofs on removing burden when it comes to distress and hardships. This study will discuss the quality and conditions of umûmü'l-belvâ easing religious provisions, and fürû-'i fiqh issues which it eased.
