In his discussion on 'Sources of Basic Rights', ʿAmīd Zanjānī categorizes legal sources into 'sources of validity and legitimacy of legal rules' according to monotheistic frameworks, differentiating this from the broader interpretation of 'all methods of law creation'. He asserts that Islamic jurisprudence encompasses a broader concept than law itself, wherein the Quran, practice of the Prophet, reason (the three primary sources), consensus, well-known fatwas, the practices of Muslims, and the principles of rationality (the three secondary sources) serve as the basis for deriving divine and legal rules rather than as mere sources (pp. 40 and 41). | In his discussion on 'Sources of Basic Rights', ʿAmīd Zanjānī categorizes legal sources into 'sources of validity and legitimacy of legal rules' according to monotheistic frameworks, differentiating this from the broader interpretation of 'all methods of law creation'.
