The Ruling on Analogical Reasoning in Acts of Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner asks: Do the jurists’ words oppose analogical reasoning (qiyas) in functional acts of worship, or is qiyas exclusive to the scholars?
Answer:
Acts of worship, acts of worship are restricted to evidence; their foundation is tawhid (the oneness of Allah). There is no qiyas in acts of worship. Qiyas is in matters other than acts of worship, in transactions, not in acts of worship. This is the nature of qiyas. If it were required in acts of worship, they would have stated this. Yes.
