 The term was also used by the Hanbali scholar Ibn Qudamah as well as the Maliki jurist Averroes.While the Shafi'i school does not recognize the application of maslaha as it may open the door to the unrestricted use based on fallible human opinions, they have a concept corresponding to maslaha which called "istidlal", induced when it is necessary to avoid the strict application of "qiyas".Maslaha was used in one sense by the Andalusian lawyer al-Shatibi (d. 1388), who focused on the motivations behind the Islamic law.
