The Qur’an, the word of God and the holy book of Muslims, is considered the primary and most fundamental source of Shari'ah rulings, addressing all of human needs in various areas. Since most of the legal rulings in this divine miracle are not elaborated in detail and are not always presented as commands or prohibitions, they are sometimes embedded within other Qur’anic teachings, such as moral, theological discussions, parables, and stories. The "Qur’anic Stories" are among the comprehensive, repetitive, and impactful meanings and concepts found in the Qur’an. Furthermore, they contain numerous lessons and admonitions. In many instances, within the Qur’anic stories, rules and principles are presented that can serve as a foundation for legal reasoning and deduction. One such rule is "the rule of Wazar," which is a well-established legal principle, encompassing the concept of "personal responsibility" for punishments. In some of the stories of past prophets in the Qur’an, the issue of wizr and the consequences of human actions are referenced. For example, the stories of prophets like Noah, Moses, and Yūsuf, each of which offers lessons in faith, patience, and individual responsibility. This research aims to address the question of how the rule of wizr can be extracted from Qur’anic stories by utilizing a descriptive-analytical method. The findings suggest that in addition to the verses of legal rulings (Āyāt al-Aḥkām), the verses from Qur’anic stories (Qaṣaṣ Qur’ani) also possess the potential for deriving religious rulings.
