Evolution of Fiqh - Mission Islam

Qabeelat Tayybah This is because there were fabricated Hadeeth in the area and they would rule out Hadeethwhich did not make sense to them. They would be suspicious of narrations and would doubt the trustworthiness of people becauseof the historical factors and political instability such as sectarianism and factionalism, in thearea. Nowadays, even this school says that you do not try to reason the Hadeeth after thecompilation of the Sahih books; you cannot criticize any Hadeeth based on this method.o They are known as the “The Rational School of Thought” in light of their rational thinking.3. Fuqaha’ of the Madhab:In the city of al-Kufaa. ‘Alqamah ibn Qays an-Nakhai’ee He was the student of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood who was the student of ‘Umar.b. Ibrahim ibn Zaid an-Nakhai’ee He was the cousin of Alqamah. From ‘Alqamah and Ibrahim came Hammad ibn Sulaiman who was the teacher of Abu Haneefa.In the city of al-Basrac. Al-Hasan al-Basri He was raised in the household of Umm Salamah, the wife of RasulAllah sal Allahu alayhi waSallam. He became one of the main authorities on Islamic law and is considered one of the 13 imaams ofFiqh. He died in 110 Hijri.d. Rabi’ah ibn Abi ‘Abdur Rahman He was the teacher of Imam Malik. He was called Rabi’ah ar-Ra’i because of his extensive use of reasoning. The reasons for Differences: What went wrong?o Geographical separation created isolation and the development of different cultures.o Political environment for each region; in Iraq there was mostly turmoil while Madinah was peaceful.The ‘ulema’ in Iraq were forced to depend on reason. As for Hijaz, it was stable and safe.o Cultural influences: In Hijaz, there were no adjacent cultures to influence Madinah. The Sahabah andthe Bedouins used to just listen to and obey The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). In Iraq, there was ahuge influence from the east; namely Persians, who brought with them their philosophy and their cultureof questioning and using reason. The non-Arab converts had a lot of questions and the ‘ulema’ andfuqaha’ in Iraq couldn’t wait for ahadeeth to come from Madinah so they started to use their ownreasoning. The Sahabah also used qiyas and ijtihad but Ahl al-Iraq gave these sources a higher statusthan the Sahabah did. Sources of Legislation in this Period1. Qur’an2. SunnahTCE Notes Revolution 48
