Which MADHAB IS RIGHT ??
Dear brothers in Islam, Please think over this article. Make a print
out and read it carefully.
In the name of Allah, most gracious and most merciful, All praise be
to Allah, peace and blessing be on our beloved Prophet Mohammed
sallellahu Alaihiwasallam
Some people try to prove that Fiqah Hanafi is also in accordance with
Quran and sunnah. They quote few examples to illustrate the point. No
one says that every thing in Fiqah Hanafi is wrong. At the same time,
it is equally not correct to say that if you stick to Fiqah Hanafi,
your deeds will be in line with the sunnah of prophet sallellahu
Alaihiwasallam. This is the greatest myth prevailing among Muslims
today in the name of Taqleed. The scholars have taken advantage of the
ignorance of the Ummah and kept them in dark for centuries. Still, Haq
is around us, and will remain till Qiyama It is time to open our eyes
and see what is really in the books of Fiqah Hanafi.
The great Imam has neither left behind any book nor did he intend to
make his teachings binding on his followers. On the contrary, he
always forbade his students from writing down his teachings, for he
was not sure whether they are in accordance with the Sunnah. He gave
rulings according to the knowledge that reached him at that time, and
did his best Ijtihad when Hadith was not available. Majority of the
knowledge of Ahadith was compiled after the death of Imam Abu Hanifa
R.A. To illustrate this point, it is worth mentioning that about 2/3
of Imam’s teachings were later amended by his 1st generation students
when they found them contradictory to the authentic Hadith that became
available later. For example Saalat Al Istisqa (rain prayer) not
supported by Imam AbuHanifa was later added in the light of hadith
that became available later.
But this spirit of flexibility to amend the teachings of the Imam in
light of Quran and Sunnah did not last long. The later generation
scholars who came during the morally deprived Abbasi Khalifas adopted
a rigid attitude and started competing with each other in compiling
the Fiqah books. This is what we are following today in the name of
Imam AbuHanifa R.A and there is no such Fiqah left behind by Imam
AbuHanifa R.A.
The purpose of this article is to bring the facts to light and
establish the hujjah on the day of resurrection but not hurt any
body’s sentiments. Sentiments will not help us to escape from the hell
fire.
In fact Fiqah Hanafi is far from sunnah of the prophet sallellahu
Alihiwasallam as evident from the following fatawahs quoted from the
books of Fiqah Hanafi. Now discover what is in these books. Can this
be in accordance with Quran and Sunnah? Imam Abu Hanifa is free from
all these fatawas of misguided Hanafi Ulama.
1. In one has intercourse with a live or dead animal or a minor girl,
ablution will NOT be void. (Dur Al Muqtar vol -1 ; page 83)
2. If any one has intercourse with a dead woman or minor girl or an
animal, then his fasting will not be broken. (Dur Al Muqtar, book of
fasting , vol-1,page 567)
3. If any one satisfies his desire by masturbation, there is no
kaffara for his fasting. (HIDAYA ; book of fasting, vol-1, page – 219)
4. If any person falsely claims that a particular woman is his wife
and produces false witness to prove it and wins the case, the that
woman becomes his wife. (Fatawh Alamgir – 350 / 3)
5. If prayer is ended by passing the wind (Farting) instead of
Tasleem, then it will be acceptable. (HIDAYA; book of Salat ; chapter
on Hadas fi salat; vol -1 ; page 130)
6. It is not allowed to pray while carrying a child. (In fact it is
allowed and proven by Hadith), where as it is allowed to pray while
carrying a dog. (Dur Al Muqtar , Book of Tahara, vol-1, page -153)
7. If human excreta or any other impurity sticks to the finger, then
it can be purified by licking it three times. (Behashti Zewar, Part-2;
masla – 26; page -5 / Fatawa Alamgir – vol -1 ; page-61)
8 Fiqah Hanafi allows non Muslims to enter the Haram of Makkah.
Allah Subhhanwatala says “O ye who believe! Truly the pagans are
unclean; so let them not after this year of theirs approach the Sacred
Mosque”. But Fiqh-Hanaffiyah says that there is no harm if the Dhimmi
non believers (non believers under the protection of Islamic
government) enter the Masjid Al Haram (see Hidayah Al Aakhireen; page
- 472). This means all non-beliebvers entering Saudi Arabia on a
proper legal VISA are eligible to enter the grand mosque of Makkah.
Brothers, How can we permit some thing that Allah has prohibited?
11. Regarding selection of Imam to lead the prayer, Fiqah Hanafi says
the one with the beautiful wife is more eligible: First let us see
what the prophet sallellahu Alaihiwasallam says about selecting the
Imam. Narrated Abu Masud Al-Ansari, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon
him) said: The one who is most versed in Allah's Book should act as
Imam for the people, but if they are equally versed in reciting it,
then the one who has most knowledge regarding Sunnah; if they are
equal regarding the Sunnah, then the earliest one to emigrate; if they
emigrated at the same time, then the earliest one to embrace Islam. No
man must lead another in prayer where (the latter) has authority, or
sit in his place of honor in his house, without his permission. Ashajj
in his narration used the word "age" in place of "Islam" (Sahih
Muslim; Kitab –Salat: 1420). However, Fiqh-Hanafiyyah says the
following on how to select Imam. The Imam should be the one with good
character, then the one who is handsome, then the one with good
lineage, then the one with good voice, then the one with beautiful
wife, then the one who is wealthy, then the one with high status, then
the one with clean clothes, then the one who has big head, then the
one with small parts of the body. (Rad Al Mokhtar 1/375). There is not
even a mention of good recitation of Quran or knowledge of Islam as
required qualification for Imam, but in stead the Fiqh has given
preference to the one who has a beautiful wife. This is the state of
ignorance of today’s Muslims.
12. Fiqh-Hanafiyyah says Madina is NOT Haram (Rad Al-Mohtar) where as
Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him declared Madinah as Haram and
forbade cutting of trees in it in the following Hadith. The Prophet
peace be upon him said, "Medina is a sanctuary from that place to
that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated
nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an
heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of
Allah, the angels, and all the people." (Narrated by Anas ; Sahih Al
Bukhari; Chapter on virtues of Madina )
13. Contradictions in Haram (prohibited things) and Halal (permissible
things): What is declared Haram by the Prophet peace be upon him is
made permissible in Fiqh-Hanafiyya. For example, “The Prophet peace be
upon him prohibited taking the price of a dog, the earnings of a
soothsayer and the money earned by prostitution. (Narrated by Abu
Masud R.A; Sahih Bukhari 7:258; Book of divorce). While the Prophet
peace be upon him forbade the price of a dog, Fiqh-Hanafiyya allows
not only trading of dogs but makes it makes it lawful to slaughter and
the sell the meat of a dog. It goes further to say that one can
slaughter and sell the meat of a donkey. (Hidaya Akhireen page – 103;
Fatawah Alamgir). Fiqh allows praying while carrying the dog in the
shoulder (Dur Al Mokhtar, book of tahara; vol – 1; page - 153) where
as we know from authentic sunnah that angels do not even enter the
place where there is dog. Wiping over the socks and turbans (during
ablution) is permissible in Islam according the following Hadith. “
Jafar bin Amr narrated “My father said: I saw the Prophet peace be
upon him passing wet hands over his turban and khuffs (leather
socks)”. (Sahih Bukhari; 1:204; Book of Wudu).
14. Fiqh-Hanafiyyah says it is not allowed to wipe over the turban
(Hidaya Awwaleen; page – 44). It is regrettable that what the Prophet
allowed is not permissible in Fiqh-Hanafiyyah. Is this called
following of Quran and Sunnah?
15. Fiqah Hanafi recommends licking the impurity with the tongue for
purification: On purification (Tahara), Fiqh Hanafiyya allows praying
with an impurity upto a measure of one Dirham. Hadith does not allow
prayer without purity. Can we even imagine that we can pray with one
Dirham’s measure of impurity on our clothes while it stinks? What is
the basis of allowing such lenience in the purity required for
praying? Not content with this, Fiqh Hanafiyyah transcends all bounds,
when it recommended that when there is impurity on any part of the
body, it should be cleaned by licking it with the tongue until it’s
effect is completely removed (Fatawah Alamgir, 1 – 45).
16. If a kafir performs prayer with congregation, he is a Muslim.
Hidaya Vol-1; page – 251
17. If you are uncertain about the direction of Qibla, you should pray
4 rakats in 4 different directions. (Minayatul Musalli –page -67)
18. If the father or grand father performs the marriage of a minor
girl, she can not nullify the marriage after she attains the age of
maturity. (Hidaya; Vol -2; page -41). (against the Hadith).
19. All the Azkar, and Sana of the prayer are permissible in any
language. (Dur Al Muqtar,vol-1,page-224/225 ; Hidaya,vol-1,page-349).
Does it make sense?
20. Fire and stones be in the mouth of the one recites sura-Fatiah
behind the Imam. (Hidaya; Vol -1; page -437). They say all maslaks are
true. Then why are they cursing the way of other maslaks in their
books?
21. Recitation of Attahiyat in prayer is permissible in all languages
(Hidaya; Vol -1; page -349). Looks very strange.
22. If any other part of Quran is recited in lieu of Sura Fatiha, the
obligatory prayer will be valid. (Hidaya; Vol -1; page -425). However,
Hadith says no prayer is valid without recitation of Surah Fatiha.
23. Aqeedah: According to Fiqah Hanafi, the faith of those in the
heavens and the earth (creation of Allah) neither decreases nor
increases. (Preface of Hidaya, vol-1). Quran says the opposite in
numerous verses. To quote a few, please see in the Holy Quran Al-Imran
3: 173 ; Tauba 9:125)
24. When the marriage is sermonized and not yet consummated, but the
child is born, then the child is considered to belong to the husband,
not illegal. (Behashti Zewar, Part-4,page-69)
25. Husband resides in foreign land for years. If the child is born,
then it is considered to belong to the husband but not illegal.
((Behashti Zewar, Part-4, page-69)
26. Contradiction with Quran in the punishment for murder: Quran
prescribes Qisas (equality in punishment) the following verse. "We
ordained therein for them: "Life for life eye for eye nose for nose
ear for ear tooth for tooth and wounds equal for equal." But if anyone
remits the retaliation by way of charity it is an act of atonement for
himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath
revealed they are (no better than) wrong-doers. Fiqah Hanafi in Fatawa
Alamgir says "If any one arrests a person and leaves him before a
beast and the beast kills him, then there is no fine or punishment on
him, rather he should be imprisoned and beaten until he repents. Is
this what they call the true reflection of Quran and sunnah?
27. Contradiction with Quran in the punishment for theft: Quran
ordering the punishment for theft says " As to the thief male or
female cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example from
Allah for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in Power." However the
Fiqah Hanafi says in Hidaya Awwaleen, (page- 526) "If a thief collects
and loads his stolen things on a donkey and if he does not ride it and
walks with it, his hands should not be cut off. It further says if the
thief is veiled or steals from outside a house by stretching his hand,
then his hands should not be cut off. See how Fiqah is teaching the
methods of theft without incurring punishments of Quran.
28. Fiqah Hanafi making intoxicating drinks lawful: In one Hadith of
Sahih Bukhari narrated by Abu Al Juwairiyya Prophet sallellahu
Alaihiwasallam when asked about the drink"Al-Badhaq" (drink made by
fermenting honey) says "Any drink that intoxicates is unlawful". But
Fiqah Hanafi makes permits Alcohol made from certain things lawful and
prescribes that there is no punishment for such drinks even if they
cause intoxication. (See Hidaya Aakhireen, page – 493).
29. Fiqah Hanafi prescribes no punishment for marriage with blood
relations: If a person marries his Muhrim (blood relation), Islam
prescribes death penalty as stated in Hadith of Abu Dawood narrated by
Bara bin Azib, "I met my uncle who was carrying a standard. I asked
him: Where are you going? He said: The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon
him) has sent me to a man who has married his father's wife. He has
ordered me to cut off his head and take his property" Fiqah Hanafi in
Fatawa Alamgir 3:468 says " If any person marries a blood relations of
the 1st order such as sister, daughter, mother etc. and consummates
the marriage, then there is no punishment on him according to Imam Abu
Hanifa even if he knows that it is prohibited"
30. Hanafi books also acknowledge the sunnah and the truth of
Rafaidain, Ameen, placing hands on chest in prayer etc., but their
fatwah is not given accordingly. This exposes their desperate attempts
to protect Fiqah and Madhahabs. For example Hidaya, vol-1, page – 389
says "Ahadith in support of Rafaidain are stronger than the Ahadith
for discontinuation of this practice." Hidaya, vol -1, page – 563 also
says" Hadith on 20 rakats Taraweh is weak".
What really went wrong?
The fact is that the Fiqah Hanafi which the majority follows in Indian
subcontinent is not really from Imam AbuHanifa as it’s name suggests.
If any sane Muslim reads this Fiqah without any prejudice, it becomes
very obvious that this is not only in direct contradiction with Quran
and Hadith, but also defies the fundamental logic and common sense.
Several sexual issues which are hypothetical in nature have been
shamelessly described. Unfortunately, our brothers who considers
themselves Hanafi have never read a book of Fiqah in their life time
to discover the filth that constitutes Fiqah Hanafi. The bigoted
scholars have taken advantage of this ignorance of unsuspecting Ummah
to perpetuate their strong hold among the masses.
Please see below the period of Imam Abu Hanifa and the period of the
books of Fiqah Hanafi.
Period of Imam Abu Hanifa R.A 80 – 150 Hijri

7. FATAWAH ALAMGIR Aurangzeb

As evident from above, these books of Fiqah Hanafi were written
several years after the period of Imam Abu Hanifa R.A. Issues of Fiqah
discussed in these books can not be traced back to Imam AbuHanifa by a
reliable chain of narration. Even if it were from Imam AbuHanifa, it
can not be some thing to be followed blindly especially he lived in a
period when very few Ahadith were compiled. The fact that 2/3 of his
fatawahs were amended by his own students, proves that he was neither
perfect in the knowledge of Hadith nor did he ever claim to be. He
himself said “ if you find any thing of mine in contradiction to the
sahih Hadith, then cast my word against the wall and take the Hadith”.
This is what we should do including our scholars. This is the true
Madhhab of Imam AbuHanifa R.A.
It is time to wake up from this deep slumber and follow the path of
Quran and Sunnah, as followed by salaf saliheen, learn from scholars
of Quran and Sunnah, not the prejudiced and Muqallid scholars.
Otherwise our deeds will be destroyed.
Allah Subhhanwatala says in Quran
“Obey Allah (Quran) and obey the prophet (Sunnah) and DO NOT DESTROY
YOUR DEEDS.” (Sura Mohammed 47 :32)
