that legally reliable qiyas (analogical reasoning) could either be that of every person in whatever he thinks or only of some persons. However, it is evident that not everyone's qiyas is reliable according to the Quranic verse that states, "If they had referred it to the prophet and the people of authority from among themselves, those who are able to think out the matter would have known it."(4:83) Therefore, there are some persons whose qiyas is reliable and some whose qiyas is not reliable. One whose qiyas is reliable is called mujtahid and mustanbit, and others are called muqallid. Hence, it is obligatory for a muqallid to follow a mujtahid. Fuqahā’ A faqih (plural=‘fuqahā’) is a scholar who has gained mastery in interpreting and applying the various sources of Islamic law, including the Quran, Hadith, and the consensus of scholars, to practical situations. Several Deobandi scholars have made significant contributions to Islamic jurisprudence in the Indian subcontinent and beyond, earning recognition as faqihs. These include: Rashid Ahmad Gangohi, born in 1828 in the Indian village of Gangoh. A prominent member of the Deobandi school of thought, he was renowned for his deep understanding of Islamic law, particularly in the Hanafi school of thought. Fatawa-e-Rashidiya, a collection of his fatwas on various Islamic legal issues, is considered one of his most important works. Known for their detail and depth, the fatwas in this collection remain a valuable resource for scholars and students of Islamic law. Aziz-ul-Rahman Usmani, another notable scholar, was born in 1892 and passed away in 1974. He was a leading figure in the Deobandi school of thought and authored numerous works on Islamic law and theology. Fiqh al-Islam, one of his most important works, is an extensive and detailed exposition of Hanafi fiqh and is regarded as one of the most authoritative works on Hanafi fiqh in the Urdu language. Ashraf Ali Thanwi, born in 1863 and passing away in 1943, was another renowned figure in Islamic scholarship and a leading figure in the Deobandi school of Islamic thought. He wrote several works on Islamic law and spirituality and was known for his contributions to the field of Tasawwuf (Islamic mysticism). His collection of fatwas on various Islamic legal issues, Imdad al-Fatawa, is widely respected for its clarity and accessibility, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of Islamic law.
