  3. Local custom
  4. Cases judged on their own individual merits
  5. Ijtihad - Individual scholarly reasoning
  6. Public interest - this could change over time and may be applied narrowly in one region or country
  7. Juristic preference 
  8. Principle of Necessity - could become the norm until the necessity is over
