What are the examples of qiyas?

Answer 1

Example of qiyas;

For example, qiyas is applied to the injunction against drinking wine to create an injunction against cocaine use.

-Identification of a clear, known thing or action that might bear a resemblance to the modern situation, such as the wine drinking.

-Identification of the ruling on the known thing. Wine drinking is haraam, prohibited.

-Identification of the reason behind the known ruling ('illah). For example, wine drinking is haram because it intoxicates. Intoxication is bad because it removes Muslims from mindfulness of God. This reason behind the reason is termed hikmah.

-The reason behind the known ruling is applied to the unknown thing. For instance cocaine use intoxicates the user, removing the user from mindfulness of God. It is therefore prohibited.

Answer 2

Examples of qiyas (analogical reasoning) include applying a ruling from the Quran or Sunnah to a new situation that is not explicitly addressed in the original sources, such as using the prohibition on alcohol to prohibit other intoxicants. Another example is extending a ruling based on similarities between two cases, such as applying the punishment for theft to embezzlement.
