Conditions of conflict between Sharia texts and their causes

Abstract

This research addresses the issue of "contradictory and problematic hadiths," given its importance in understanding the Prophetic Sunnah. It is one of the most prominent problems facing scholars in dealing with prophetic texts when apparent contradictions arise between them. We sought to demonstrate the correct approach to addressing this issue by balancing hadith rules and legal objectives within an integrated framework that presents applied models for methods of combining, preferring, or abrogating. It highlights that this topic is not intended for skepticism, but rather a field for disciplined ijtihad, reflecting the breadth of Islamic law and demonstrating the impact of objectives in guiding hadith understanding. It concludes that combining hadith rules and objectives is a scientific necessity that contributes to resolving confusion, clarifying matters, strengthening the legal structure, making Islamic law flexible and consistent with different times and places, and addressing differences in a scientific manner.
