Summary
Fiqh al-Waqi' is a term in usul al-fiqh referring to juristic rulings that suit the realities of time and place, applied through tahqiq al-manat, which is verifying the presence of the underlying cause in a given case. Fiqh al-Nawazil refers to rulings on new or contemporary issues that did not exist in the time of earlier scholars, and is also called fiqh al-Muasarah. Understanding current issues requires fiqh al-waqi' so that fatwas fit the era and are not rigid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
