  • Sunnah: Fiqh Or Hadees

    Posted by Jaan Nisar on April 2, 2026 at 12:01 pm

    It is claimed that the written record of sunnah is in fiqh… Fuqha in every period would record the ijmah and tawatur of sunnah into their books..

    But when we keenly analyse fiqh book, we find fuqha themselves would refer ahadees to derive sunnah and other religious things..

    While recording namaaz, they refer to quran first to prove its obligation, then each fuqha goes to the hadees records to prove different postures of namaaz and thus disagree themselves in final understanding and results…

    Instead of simply quoting how namaaz is practiced in the muslim ummah in their era, they present their understanding and preferences in hadees and present their final understanding…

    So, what is the basis of this claim that fiqh is the written record of sunnah transferred by ijmah and tawatur..

    They refer to the Quran and Hadith, not to prove the practice, but to determine the status of an act being Farz, wajib or nafal. For example, saying Takbeer e Tahrima is sunnah, now the Fuqah see if it is farz or not, and then they refer to the Quran or Hadith.

    Secondly, they refer to a hadith to determine the Kefiyat of a posture, for example, where the Prophet used to place his hands while standing. This is not an essential part of prayer. Thus, it is not sunnah.
