The proofs are absolute and relative. The absolute ones are the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Messenger and the consensus of the ummah. The relative ones include al-qiyas (analogy), which could, when clear, come closer to the absolute proofs, and then there are many other sources of proofs with some controversy regarding their strength, applications and scope. All actions (not objects) have rulings in Islam, and they belong to one of the following five categories: 1. Mandatory (Wajib) 2. Preferable (Mustahab) 3. Permissible (Mubaah) 4. Disliked (Makrooh) 5. Forbidden (Haraam) It is the work of the faqeeh (jurist) to deduce from the proofs a ruling for every action. That requires an immense amount of knowledge of the Quran, Sunnah, scholarly opinions, language and many other disciplines.
