The need and importance of studying the life
and work of a Scientist
According to Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him),
“Rasulullah Muhammad (s.a.v. - peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) said:
“To whom Allah wishes to do good, He will make a
jurist (fakih) in religion”
.
The hadith was narrated by four Imam-muhaddiths.
In the land of ancient Turan, there were many people, such as Islamic
jurists, who were fortunate enough to reach the level of jurist (fakih) in the
religion, as our Rasulullah Muhammad Mustafa (s.a.v. - peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said. They have made a great and worthy
contribution to the development of jurisprudence throughout the Islamic
world. Samarkand, Bukhara, Termez and many other cities of our country
are known to the whole Muslim world for their jurisprudence madrassas
and jurists (fakihs) who studied there. In particular, the capital of our
country, Tashkent, has its own ancient and rich history and has long been
known as one of the centers of science, culture and enlightenment of the
Muslim world. Tashkent is also known in ancient Arabic sources as Shash,
a city where many world-renowned scholars, scholars and writers, poets
and jurists (fakihs) grew up. One such scholar and jurist is Kaffal ash-
Shashi.
Unfortunately, the name of Kaffal Shashi is rarely mentioned in our
newspapers and magazines when articles are often published about fakihs
who were born and raised in the ancient land of Turan (Turkistan), where
they were educated and became famous in the Islamic world, but in some
cases not mentioned at all. This is surprising, and the only reason, in our
opinion, is that he belonged to the Shafi’i school of law (mazhab), not the
Hanafi school of law (mazhab).
Undoubtedly, the Muslims living in our country have been following
the rules of the Hanafi school of law (mazhab) since ancient times.
Therefore, many fakihs, mainly members of this school of law (mazhab),
grew up in the land of Turan. But the fact that Kaffal Shashi is also a child
of our wise and great people, a nd that he belongs to the Shafi’ i school of
law (mazhab), does not mean that he was not a great fakih.
There are four schools of jurisprudence that are recognized and
widespread today, and in addition to these schools, there are three other
schools of jurisprudence. However, they have not reached this point, that
is, they have been ignored and their rules have not been followed. Sheikh
Muhammad Sadik Muhammad Yusuf in his book, “Mazhabs are a symbol
of unity”, states the following about the Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki and Hanbali
schools of law (fikh), their founders - the great mujtahids, and their
differences:
“All of these beliefs, jurisprudence and spiritual training in Islam are
based on the Koran and the Sunnah. Everything is clear and unambiguous.
There are some peculiarities in the appearance of these paths, but they all
lead to the same goal - the approval of Allah. Therefore, the original
mujtahids treated each other with respect and dignity, even though they had
different ijtihads on different issues. Again, their differences in belief,
jurisprudence, and spiritual upbringing led to an increase in friendship,
camaraderie, and love between them. This was also observed among the
Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)” 11.
There have been various differences in jurisprudence in the past, but
this has never gone beyond the bounds of etiquette (adab ul-ikhtilaf). Both
in the days of the formation of the mazhabs and in the days in which we
n Shayx Muhammad Sodiq Muhammad Yusuf. “Mazhablar - birlik ramzi” - Toshkent, “Hilol-nashf’, 2018. - 10-bet.
live with you, the scholars of the Islamic Ummah have agreed that it is
permissible to disagree on such jurisprudential issues, and the consensus of
the scholars has been accepted on this issue. The fact that the jurisprudence
of the jurists (fakihs) is permissible in matters of jurisprudence has been
acknowledged by all the scholars and has been recorded in the books of
aqedah. In conclusion, the study of the scientific heritage of our great
compatriot Imam Qaffol al-Shashi is still relevant today, and it is an honor
for us to study and research this ancient scientific heritage as his successors.
