THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Written by Muhammad Ash-Shanqiti   
It is known that the reports from the Children of Israel [the Jews], which are known as al-Israa’eeliyyaat, may be of three kinds:  1 – those which we have to believe in, which are those which are shown by the Qur’aan or the sound Sunnah to be true 2 – Those which we have to disbelieve in, which are those which are shown by the Qur’aan and Sunnah to be false. 3 – Those which we are permitted neither to believe nor disbelieve, which are those which are not proven in the Qur’aan or Sunnah to be either true or false.  From this definition we know that with regard to the stories which contradict the Qur’aan and saheeh Sunnah, which are in circulation among them now, claiming that they are from the revealed scriptures, we must reject them because they go against the texts of the sound Revelation which has not been distorted or altered [i.e., the Qur’aan]. And Allaah knows best.
