Topic > The concept of abrogation - 604

Abrogation the literal meaning is the removal or transfer of something, but its technical meaning is a repeal or revocation (raf') of religious regulation by another religious regulation of a later time, which involves direct commands and preventions or prohibitions. Repeal can be achieved by following Islamic sources; it can be achieved through a declaration of the Quran, a declaration of the Hadith and through the declaration of the Ijma, but the Ijma cannot abrogate the text and the abrogation is not permitted by analogy besides that analogy it cannot also be abrogated by a another analogy. The legitimacy of the abrogation was confirmed by the Holy Quran, Allah (SWT) said in Surah Al-Baqarah 106, “We do not abrogate any verse or verse except We introduce or replace it with one better than it or parallel to it” The abrogating text of the Quran or Hadith, is called Naasikh, while the revoked rule is called Mansuukh. Although there are some disagreements among Islamic jurists, regarding the concept of abrogation in terms of details, but all four Sunni Mad'hab. unanimously agree and accept the principle of abrogation. To delve deeper into the views of scholars regarding this concept, we can distinguish it into two. The first is the opinions of non-Muslim scholars and the second is the opinions of Muslim scholars of the non-Muslim scholars, Christians and Jews initially denied accepting the concept of abrogation according to Al-Sarakhsi and Dr. Sheikh Wahbah Al-Zuhaili. The second point of view is that of Muslim scholars regarding this doctrine, as I mentioned above, most Islamic jurists, including the imams of four Sunni schools, have no doubts about the existence of the abrogation of Shari'ah, However some ancient and modern Muslim scholars, especially scholars who are experts in the interpretation of the Quran who have tried to make some exceptions or deny this concept. One of these scholars is Abu Muslim Al-Asfahaani who lived during the 4th century, he allowed the abrogation, but prohibited using it as evidence, some Muslim scholars believe that he was one of the scholars of Muctasila and what is not d 'agreement was the pronunciation and what to call this doctrine, called the abrogation Takhsiis. There are four types of repeal in terms of legal ruling. The Quran abrogates with the Quran, the Sunnah abrogates with the Sunnah. The Quran is abrogated by the Sunnah, and the Sunnah is abrogated by the Quran. For example, the Quran is abrogated by Qur'an Allah said in Surah Al-Baqarah 234. Most
