The representative of the Osol Society at the female section of the College of Shari`ah and Islamic Studies at Umm Al-Qura University, in cooperation with the Department of Shari`ah, held a lecture entitled: “Problems Faced by Research in Takhreej (Exposition) and the Application of Fundamental Juristic Rules”. The lecture was presented by Her Excellency Dr. Eida bint Muhammad Al-Hatimi, Assistant Professor of Jurisprudence at Umm Al-Qura University, on Tuesday, 25 Rajab 1442 A.H., via the WebEx platform.

The course included several themes, most importantly:

1. Definition of Takhreej (exposition), its types, and the difference between each one.
2. The subject matter of Takhreej, its themes, derivation, and benefits.
3. Definition of jurisprudential applications, the subject matter, and the difference between jurisprudential applications and Takhreej.
4. Benefits of fundamental juristic applications, and the controls that the researcher adopts when applying fundamental juristic rules to legal texts.
5. The pitfalls that the researcher may fall into during the fundamental juristic application of Sharia`h texts.

The term Takhreej is used in many contexts. It is not used in one single sense. These contexts include:

• Using Takhreej to understand the basic concepts of the scholars and the bases on which they based their judgments on issues.
• Using Takhreej in the sense of restricted deduction.

At the end of the meeting, the representative of the Osol Society, Dr. Alaa Al-Sulami, presented a certificate of thanks and appreciation to Dr. Aida Al-Hatimi for her efforts in the course, which was well received by the attendees.
