Why is logic not studied alongside the books of the people of knowledge?

Scholars have differed concerning the science of logic. The majority of early Islamic scholars initially tended to reject it because it was developed by the Greeks, contains both truth and falsehood, and was frequently used by philosophers. However, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali later introduced logic into the principles of jurisprudence (Usul al-Fiqh), and it became widespread thereafter. Meanwhile, other scholars continued to prohibit it, such as Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and al-Suyuti.

Nevertheless, a specialist may study logic from the books of its proponents to understand its methods and approaches, so that he may gain insight into their terminology and styles. This enables him to refute specious arguments, as Muhammad al-Amin al-Shinqiti did. Thus, logic, when purified from the impurities of philosophy, can be beneficial in understanding proofs and refuting falsehoods.
