What did early and contemporary scholars write about the distinctiveness of Islamic jurisprudence and the shortcomings of man-made laws, and did they present anything that proves its suitability for every time and place?
We have previously answered about the books written concerning the superiority of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) over man-made laws, and we mentioned some books authored on legislative inimitability and the virtues of Islam. As for the suitability of for application in every time and place, many have written on this subject, including Muhammad Al-Khidr Hussein in his book "Sharia is Suitable for Every Time and Place," and Dr. Al-Sawy in his book "Misconceptions about the Application of Islamic Sharia." The ancients did not write in this area because the suitability of Sharia was known by necessity, and skepticism about it only emerged in the modern era.
