The dominant historical narrative considers the systematization of the doctrine of Maqasid al-Shari‘ah an exclusively Sunni achievement—particularly attributed to al-Shatibi (d. 790 AH)—while portraying Imamiya jurisprudence as largely marginal in this field. This perspective reduces Shia jurisprudence to an inherently “ruling-centered” system and undermines the historical foundations of contemporary maqasid-based approaches. The present study aims to challenge this prevailing narrative and demonstrate the pioneering role and authenticity of maqasid-based reasoning within the Imamiya legal tradition. Methodology: This research is a fundamental study in the field of the “history of legal thought,” conducted using a strategy of qualitative documentary analysis and the method of hermeneutic textual analysis. Focusing on primary sources of Usul and jurisprudence of Shia scholarship—particularly the works of Allamah Hilli (d. 726 AH) and subsequent jurists—the study provides a comparative analysis of the structural components of maqasid theory. Findings: The findings decisively reveal that a fully developed and systematized maqasid theory—with all its essential components—was articulated by Allamah Hilli at least sixty-four years before the death of al-Shatibi. Furthermore, this line of thought evolved into an intellectual tradition within the works of prominent jurists such as Fakhr al-Muhaqqiqin and Shahid Awwal. Conclusion: The theory of Maqasid al-Shari‘ah is a shared Islamic intellectual heritage in which Shia jurists played a pioneering role in its systematization. These findings refute the dominant historical narrative and provide both authenticity and historical grounding for contemporary maqasidi approaches in governance-related jurisprudence (such as “macro-fiqh theory”). They demonstrate that such approaches are not innovations but rather the “revival” of an inherent and authentic potential within Shia ijtihad.
