What is the evidence for the preservation of religion, self, intellect, honor, and property – as they are among the necessities – and for their arrangement in this specific order?

The five necessities are: religion, life (or self), lineage (or honor), property, and intellect. The Muslim community has agreed that the Shari'ah (Islamic law) was established to preserve them. This is known from the totality of the Shari'ah texts, and the rulings of the Shari'ah represent means of preserving these necessities, such as the legislation of Jihad to preserve religion, Qisas (retribution) to preserve life, the Hadd (prescribed punishment) for theft to preserve property, the Hadd for zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and qadhf (false accusation of unchastity) to preserve honor, and the Hadd for drinking to preserve intellect. As for the order of these necessities, most scholars prioritize the preservation of religion over all others, then life, then honor (or lineage), then property, then intellect. Nevertheless, the degrees of necessity vary, and there is no clear rule for their ordering; the order differs depending on the considerations and circumstances of necessity.
