Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is the Zahiri school a school of jurisprudence that can be relied upon?
Answer:
The Zahiri school takes the apparent meanings of hadiths and does not accept analogical reasoning (qiyas); they do not accept qiyas, they deny qiyas. This is the method of the Zahiris, and it is a recognized school of jurisprudence.
