Dari sisi corak tafsir, kitab tafsir Ahkam al-Qur’an li al-Syafi’i menganut corak tafsir fiqhi. Di mana pembahasan tafsir terfokus pada masalah fikih dan ushul fiqh. Walaupun secara operasional, corak lughawi juga tidak jarang digunakan. Dengan demikian, maka ayat yang ditafsiri juga terbatas pada ayat-ayat yang mengandung hukum yang umum disebut sebagai ayat al-ahkam.
