The disagreements about the foundations of Islamic jurisprudance is one of the basic
reasons which have formed the religious sects. There are a lot of disagreements
between the Sunnite and Shi’ite. Abu Cafar al-Tusî, being one of the leader scholars of
Şhi’ite, in his book called al-Udda mentioned about those disagreements. When he wrote
this book he benefited from Sunni scholars’s system a lot. About the basic matters of the
the foundations of Islamic jurisprudance he polemized with the Sunni scholars. He
always prefered and defined his sect’s opinions fanatically. In branch matters of the foundations
of Islamic jurisprudance he agreed with the Sunni scholars from time to time.
In this article the polemic of the foundations of Islamic jurisprudance between Sunnite
and Shi’ite have been considered briefly.
