These proofs and explanations have been the sources of some legal maxims such as: “The premise in all things is that of permissibility” (al-asl fi al-ashyah al-ibahah); “Certainty is not overruled by doubt” (al-yaqin la yazulu bi al-shakk); “The norm is that the status quo remains as it was before” (al-aslbaqahmakana ‘alamakana).
