A scholar who was known for disputation in jurisprudence, so he became content with his leadership,
الفقهِ — the jurisprudence. A noun carrying 'al-' (the), the definite field already in view, sitting in the form the preposition before it requires. It completes the 'in the jurisprudence' phrase that pins down where the scholar's disputing happened.
From: Guidance for the Seeker →فِي الْوَعْظِ، وَالتَّفْسِيرِ، وَالْفِقْهِ،
in preaching, exegesis, and jurisprudence,
وَالْفِقْهِ، — and jurisprudence. Again wa- adds a parallel field to the list, the noun remaining genitive under the opening 'in'. This recurring connector keeps the same field-joining role as the previous one. It closes the first group of disciplines.
