FOUR ILLUSTRIOUS IMAMS

From the Book

The method used by these Imaams for explaining the laws was to first search for them in the Quraan and in the Hadith.

 If no clear-cut answer was to be found here, then they looked for some indication of it. Thereafter, they looked for such a proof which they understood to be correct and which could be corroborated by the Qur’aan and the Hadith.

 This is the manner in which the queries of the people were dealt with.

Hadhrat Umar Farooq, the second caliph of Rasulullah (228), who was a Sahabi of great rank, also applied this method.

Whenever a question was asked, he first looked in the Qur’aan and the Hadith. if it was not clear in either, then he used to pass such a ruling, through his Understanding of the matter, which was not contrary to The commandments of Allah and the teachings of Nabi (22) and whenever he sent a governor out to any other land, then he used to give the governor the same advise, that whenever any a query arises, he should first consult the Qur’aan and the Hadith.

 If there is no clear answer to the specific problem, then make any such descision which does not Oppose the commands of Allah and His Rasul (2232),
