It has been divided into three sections, the first includes concepts and terms of the study. The second deals with convention and customs and their relationship to the method of reasoning and worship in the Islamic law. And the third discusses convention and customs and their relationship to interests and evils. The Research tried to answer the following questions: What is the role of convention in achieving the noble goals of Sharia? What is the relationship between customs and the noble goals of Sharia? The researcher has concluded that there is a relationship between convention and customs and the noble goals of Sharia. Customs play a role in the fulfilment of the Sharia objectives. After all, interest is usually one of the customs, and it has been proven that the Divine Law has considered the interests of people, and their convention and customs. Hence, the jurist must observe convention and customs in ruling.
