From the viewpoint of Uslu al-Fiqh
scholars, divine precepts are fixed and actual in the
sight of Allah and the
verdicts inferred by jurists are apparent and in case of
their inconsistence
with the actual rules, make no change to them. However,
the question arises
what causes jurists to infer different verdicts as to the
same subjects and by
referring to similar sources? Although most of the
answers to this question
concern the influence of time and place and the change in
subject matters of
the verdicts, it seems that one of the factors affecting
the change in the
religious verdicts is the difference in the metaphor-
theory system. According
to the achievements of contemporary cognitive linguists,
the process of human
thought is of a metaphorical nature and most of the
linguistic metaphors are
due to the existence of metaphors in the conceptual
structure of human mind.
Accordingly, all abstract concepts become conceptual
through the process of
visualizing a known and objective matter. The findings of
the present study
which has been done by analytical-descriptive method and
based on library
resources show that the difference in the verdicts is due
to the difference in
the Usuli theories and the difference in the Usuli
theories stems from
metamorphosis of the supporting and internal metaphors of
these theories. For
example, the two metaphors slave and master and
legislator and law-abiding
which have evolved over time and based on the abstract
concept of duty- as the
most important and influential abstract concept in Usul
al-Fiqh- have led to
different theories in this science and subsequently, have
also affected the
jurists' inference from jurisprudential sources (the Holy
Book and Sunna).
