A benefit from the hadith in establishing analogical reasoning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And in this hadith there is clear evidence for establishing analogical reasoning (qiyas) and that it is a legal proof. The evidence for analogical reasoning is abundant. The foundation of the Islamic Shari'ah—we can say it is all analogical reasoning—because one of the basic rules of the Shari'ah is that one does not differentiate between two similar things, nor does one combine two different things. This is the foundation of the Islamic Shari'ah. And all the parables that Allah struck in the Qur'an are analogical reasoning. Everything you find as a parable is analogical reasoning. [Al-Baqarah 2:261] is analogical reasoning, [Al-'Ankabut 29:41] is analogical reasoning, and so on. Every parable is analogical reasoning, except for what is in the sense of a description. So what is in the sense of a description is not analogical reasoning, such as the saying of the Exalted: [Muhammad 47:15] Here, "parable" (mathal) is in the sense of a description, meaning its description is such and such. Yes.
