Its four chapters focus on discussing three Islamic jurisprudential concepts: "Maslaha" (public interest), "Urf" (custom), and "Istihsan" (juristic preference), and a jurisprudential mechanism: "Takhsis al-Umum" (specification of general rulings) between the religious and the worldly. It discusses the sanctity of the "traditional" Muslims' view – as he called them – of jurisprudential concepts in general, despite them being a worldly human endeavor, reviewing the problematic of secularization, or more accurately, "the relationship between the religious and the worldly" and its initial infiltration into Muslim societies to break the taboo surrounding the sanctity of some jurisprudential opinions. The book is 376 pages long, including a bibliography and a general index.
