Overview
The Department of Jurisprudence was established with the college under the name (Department of Jurisprudence and its Principles). The college was founded at the beginning of the academic year 1396/1397 AH, by virtue of the Supreme Approval No. 3/J/20527 dated 26/8/1396 AH, under the name (College of Sharia and Arabic Language in Qassim). At that time, it was affiliated with Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh. Then, the college was separated by virtue of the Supreme Directive No. 3/M/14371 dated 19/6/1401 AH, into two colleges: 1. College of Sharia and Principles of Religion. 2. College of Arabic and Social Sciences. This was followed by the merger of the branches of Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University and King Saud University in Qassim under one university named (Qassim University) by virtue of the Royal Decree No. 7/B/2242 dated 10/5/1424 AH. In 1430 AH, approval was granted to change the college's name to (College of Sharia and Islamic Studies), and the Department of Jurisprudence became one of its departments until now.
