Every discipline that you can imagine in the just every
discipline from politics, anything that people do, are going to have
differences of opinion. Now, you may think we have one book, and we
have one prophet. So why would there be any difference of
opinion, everything should be in the book. And the religion is
easy, and we shouldn't have any disagreements. Now, the mistake in
that is that while we have one book, you need to understand the
three main reasons that methods exist. The first reason Yes, we
have one book, but the verses in the book, and in the Hadith are
different types of verses.
One type of verse is called a verse, an explicit unequivocal
verse it cannot possibly ever be misinterpreted. An example of that
is all the verses about so heat, oneness of Allah, Allahu Allah
had, there is no other meaning for the word one. If we look at rules
of inheritance, for example,
this person gets a third this person gets a fourth your mother
gets this, your father gets that there's no difference of opinion
there in the Arabic language does not allow multiple meanings for
the word male, or for the word 1/3 or 1/4. So the first tranche of
set of verses, these are called the foundations of the book,
there's no difference upon them. And as a result, there's no
method. If you go against those, you're outside of us someday,
maybe even outside of the slot.
The second type of bursts second tranche of verses are called
funny. The words funny, or in English, equivocal means it could
possibly have different meanings in the language, or the verse
could be understood differently. Those verses exists and that's why
methods assist those verses force people to come to a conclusion on
what it means. They force the scholars to say okay, what does
this word mean? The money versus require thought and where they're
stopped, there's differences. So, to give a simple example, the
verse about will do uses the word su or wash, when we say wash, what
is the meaning of wash? What are the parameters of washing? If I
dip my arm into a still pool of water? Am I washed it? If I move I
poured running water over my arm have I washed it? Or do I have to
pour running water and rub it like this have I washed it? What about
dipping my hand in water and then rubbing it on a dry arm have I
washed it all these are different opinions, some rejected, some
accepted and some merely deferred upon. So the existence of money
versus equally the goal versus or equivocal language. Each in one
individual word can have a single meaning no discussion, where it
could have multiple meanings. The second reason why methods exist,
life is constantly bringing Muslims new scenarios. Let me give
you a simple example. There are scenarios that could have never
happened to the time of the prophets of Allah. As a result of
that the Prophet peace be upon him
did an answer to give an example in the time of say not even every
thought that the first religious sects came about? When the Prophet
SAW Allah He was Saddam was alive. There were no six.
If anyone had a comment about the deen, well, the Prophet was there
to answer it. And there was one Amen. But once the prophets of
Allah it was done and returned to Allah and you have the companions
and years pass and more years and decades paths and 30 years pass, I
leave in every thought it said nobody had to deal with the first
group of people that broke away, said we know better than you. And
when against many explicit things, in the Quran and the Sunnah, and
defended themselves religious, not political. So was the footage.
What do we do with them?
So these are questions that came up, did it come up in the time of
the Prophet came up later? Cause suddenly today, every day, there
are new questions from the from the time of the companions
onwards, when there's a drought in Medina, do we still uphold all the
crimes in the same way? We'll say Norman said no. Crimes are not
treated the same way when there's a drought. And people are starving
and a man has five kids at home and he goes robs another old, he
can't be treated the same way as in peacetime at a time in which
everyone's living happily.
How do I get an education? We're in a world of student loans. How
do I What do I do with Bitcoin? Do I pay as a cat on it as a stock?
Or as occurrence?
Is it as a cannibal? What do I do with all these things? So these
questions are not in the Quran and in the Sunnah.
directly Quran and Sunnah give us principles on how to answer
another question. In the time of the Prophet, there was one Joomla
in the whole city.
What happens when the city becomes one of our cities filled with
millions of people can have one Joomla? You can have to answer
that question. So that's what previous generations dealt with.
And we continue to deal with that. Sometimes we imagine the world is
static. And then there's modern Titus, right? Like the all the
world was living just like the prophet for 1300 years, then
suddenly, both modern times, it's not the case. Now the third
reason, third reason that meth labs is a mimetic spoke about it.
And he spoke about headaches. Why is it that you can find a dt that
says one thing, you can find another Hadith that says another
thing, or you could find the early generations never practicing it?
Or practicing something completely different?
We have a hadith for example, that the Prophet peace be upon him,
wiped him upon a job, or a sock. What you find the Sahaba never did
it and taught not to do it?
How do we explain that? They only wiped on a leather cuff.
So we asked the question, then, is every Hadith, definitive of what
the font prophets final teaching was Maddix that no, the prophet
may have taught one thing, then that matter became abrogated. And
he taught something different. So the law within the time of the
Prophet was fluctuating.
He allowed something at one point didn't allow it later on, didn't
allow something at one point, and then allow to later on, there may
be a Sahaba, who came and visited the prophet in the early time, saw
what he did, went back home transmitted it. Later on the
Prophet peace be bottom, given who really, gold is one example, was
permitted for a period of time. He himself wore gold ring for a
period of time, then he forbade him from it. So abrogation
and differences on the grading of Hadith, just because we have
Bukhari, and Muslim, and we all know that those are the two most
reliable books on Hadith because their chains are so perfect, does
not mean that every Imam agreed that this is the final say, of
what the Sunnah of the Prophet is. So, the summary of what I'm saying
is they differed on Hadith, they differ on what was the final
teaching of the Prophet varies, that will give you a very simple
example. In the Quran, there are 16
or 15 or 11 points of such
as to salute in which while you're reciting, given certain conditions
you need to make such that it just makes to Jude. Well, according to
one narration, there are 16
According to another students at Hajj has one, not two, so that
makes it 50. Yet, according to Ibn Abbas, and this is what ematic
takes, the sedge does in the Mufasa verse, that sort of shorter
sutras were all abrogated, such as the sedge, the end diplomas,
Malbec, Allah the Cotswolds, is abrogated. So the Prophet used to
do it in Medina makup, but he stopped doing it in Medina.
So there is a difference that narrations about the verses have
surged up, there are different variations, because one came at
the beginning of the time, and another came later, the Imams all
differed on which narration came which and that's third reason why
method. So to recap the three main reasons number one, there are
inexplicit vannini equivocal verses in the Hora and in the
Hadith, meaning texts, words, phrases, commandments,
prohibitions that could have different interpretations on what
they mean. The word itself means many things.
Number two, there are always new matters, these new matters need to
be answered. When they're at where they're answered correctly, that's
a slump, where they're answered incorrectly that could be an
error.
And if it goes beyond the certain bounds, it could be a heresy.
Thirdly,
the scholars themselves differed within the realm of Hadith on what
was the final say of the prophets of Allah when they differed on
ragging Hadith. Abu Hanifa famously would judge by the action
of the narrator wrote more than his words. So if a narrator said
something, but he acted differently
than we must assume he said it as an exception, not as the norm
because he practiced differently. That's the third reason that
methods exist. They differed on Hadith itself,
book body when he says something, and then this is the Sunnah,
that's all so he's using his opinion. And you may have heard of
another scholar who's early from the earlier times or after him
that says not there is
A stronger Hadith than this, or this hadith is an exception, or
this hadith was abrogated, or I fought a fight a stronger proof is
the action of this narrator or the action of a more seniors committed
to this. So with that hadith is not a fixed a source that cannot
be discussed. It's more of a flexible source that can be
discussed.
