Abstract

Jurisprudential principles are foundational elements of Islamic jurisprudence that play a significant role in deriving legal rulings. Issues in Islamic jurisprudence that lack credible evidence can be inferred using these principles. One such principle is the principle of Waqiyah (protection or preservation), which has gained prominence within the discussions of educational jurisprudence. The essence of this principle is the obligation to protect oneself and one's family from the precursors of divine punishment in the hereafter. The main question of this paper is whether this principle can be established through Quranic and narrational evidence, and how its application in the realm of educational jurisprudence can be demonstrated. This research employs a descriptive-analytical method and utilizes library and documentary data collection techniques to explore this principle and examine its implications, documentation, and educational significances. Among the most important findings of this study are: establishing the principle of Waqiyah based on three criteria: generality, provability, and applicability; the collective obligation of Waqiyah for children in the educational process; and delineating the principle of Waqiyah from other principles, especially the command to do good and the prohibition of wrongdoing, in terms of scope, audience, and application as an independent principle.
