pptx prepared by Dr. Mayeser
drmayeser@gmail.com
25. The Breakdown of Definition
Naskh can only take place on Laws and not on the Aqeedah
The ruling that is abrogated (the mansookh) must originate in the Quran and the
Sunnah, naskh cannot accur with regards to ijmaa (consenses) and qiyaas ( analogy)
The understanding of the verse(mafhoom) can also be abrogated, even though its
explicit wording (mantooq) remains applicable.
Ijtihaad or Qiyaas cannot abrogate the Quran and the Sunnah
The mansookh ruling must precede the nasikh ruling
Naskh is primarily a Madinese phenomenon.
