Summary/Abstract: Fiqh and Sufism are two disciplines that are directly related to a person's daily life. For this reason, Islamic scholars have noticed the existence of a dynamic relationship between these two fields in almost every period and they have always taken this situation into consideration. On the other hand, the fact that the main source of these fields is the Qur'an and the Sunnah, can be seen as one of the reasons why this relationship cannot be ignored. Since it is the Qur'an which brings fiqh and mysticism together, it is absolutely necessary to turn to it. In this case, we come across the issue of how the existing verses of provisions are understood and interpreted by mystics. To be able to understand the issue in detail and to reach healthy results, it should be handled more clearly only in the context of an Ishāri tafseer. For this reason, in the article, as an exemplary Ishāri interpretation, it has been tried to determine in the light of concrete data what Ishāri meanings the author gives to the relevant verses in Ḳushayri's Laṭāʾif al-Ishārāt and how he establishes the relationship between fiqh and mysticism.
