Summary
Maqasid Shariah refers to the purposes, meanings and wisdom set by Islamic law in its rulings in order to realise human welfare. Hifz al-Din is one of the five essential necessities, alongside life, intellect, lineage and property. The portion of the statement provided explains the definitions, the division of the necessities and the meaning of al-din, and does not reach a conclusion on the claim that Hifz al-Din covers all religions.
