Why don't you follow Imam Abu Hanifa?

Question: Imam Abu Hanifa has said, “Throw my ruling on the wall if it’s not in accordance with Hadith.” So, why don’t you follow Imam Abu Hanifa?

Answer: Imam Abu Hanifa (RA) has, without any doubt, advised “Throw my ruling on the wall if it’s not in accordance with Hadith.” 

However, his advice was not for people like us – who are not even able to read Qur'an correctly, nor do we have in-depth knowledge of Quran, nor can we differentiate between Nasikh and Mansookh.

Neither nor are we aware of different types of Hadith like:
Sahih,
Maruf,
Mursal,
Maqtoo,
Mauquf,
Hasan,
Zaeef,
Gareeb,
Muztarib,
Mauzoo, and several other types.

His advice was meant for his disciples and students who were the most highly learned Ulmas and Fuqhas of the time.

How can we, without having even basic knowledge of Islam, dare to criticize someone like Abu Hanifa ﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ, who was a fountain of knowledge.

Moreover, the above-mentioned advice of Imam Abu Hanifa ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ was duly followed by his scholarly students like Imam Abu Yousuf, and Imam Muhammad etc.

A group of great scholars comprising of about forty Fuqhas and Ulemas, most of them were disciples of Imam Abu Hanifa ﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ , minutely and thoroughly examined and appraised the entire work of Imam Abu Hanifa ﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪduring the compilation of Hanafi Fiqh.

These scholars have not only just revised and amended Imam Abu Hanifa’s rulings but also have replaced them, wherever applicable, with more authentic ones.

Imam Abu Hanifa rahmatullahi alaih Mas'ala kis tarah nikalte the???

Imam Abu Hanifa rahmatullahi alaih farmate hai"

1.Agar Quran me mil jaye to usi ka hukum leta hu,

2. Quran me na ho to Sunnat e Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam ko leta hu aur

3. Kitab o Sunnat me kisi baat ka Hukum nahi pata to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam ke SAHABA me se jis ka Qaul chahta hu leta hu, Lekin unke Qaul se kisi aur ke Qaul ki taraf nahi jata,

4. Jab baat Ibrahim, ibne seereen, Ata' aur Sayeed Bin Musayyib rahimahumullah(ye hazraat tabaeen hai) ki ati to jaise in logo ne IJTEHAD kiya hai, mai bhi ijtehad karta hu."
[AL INTEQA LI IBNE ABDIL BAR:143]

Imam Abu Hanifa rahmatullahi alaih ka FIQH me Darja to sab ko tasleem hai, Imam Shafai rahmatullahi alaih jaise Buland paya Muhaddis o Faqeeh kaha karte the"Log FIQH me IMAM ABU HANIFA Rahmatullahi alaih ke MOHTAJ hain"
[TAZKIRATUL HUFFAZ:159]

IMAAM ABU HANEEFA RAH AUR QIYAAS
GHAUR SE PADHEN

IBNE QAYYIM RAH LIKHTE HAIN:
"IMAM ABHU HANEEFA RAH ZAEEF HADEES KO RAYE AUR QIYAAS PAR MUQADDAM RAKHTE[Jab us topic par SAHEEH HADEES maujood na ho]
Aur Imam Abu Haneefa Rahmatullahi alaih ke ASHAAB ka IJMAA hai ke Imam Abu Haneefa rah ka Mazhab ye hai ke ZAEEF HADEES unke NAZDEEK Qiyas aur Rai par Muqaddam hai, aur yahi asal hai k zaeef hadees ko qiyas per muqaddam rakhen. Jaisa ke Muqaddam rakha QAHQAHA wali Hadees ko uske Zof ke bawajod Qiyaas aur Raai par . aur Muqaddam kiya Qiyas aur rai par SAFAR ME Khajoor ke nabeez se wuzu karna uske zof ke bawajod, aur mana kiya CHOR ke hath katna 10 dirham se kam chori karne par, aur is mamle me hadees Zaeef hai, aur Haiz ki Aksar Muddat ko 10 din rakha aur is Mauzoo par hadees Zaeef hai, aur JUMA ke Qayam hone me SHAHAR ke hone ki SHART lagayi aur usme isi tarah Zaeef hadees hai, aur qiyas ko chod diya kuwein(well/bowli)k masail mein jin mein asar e gair marfo hai.
(Yani sahabi se sabit shuda mas'ale mein jo quran wo hadees se muariz na ho) To muqaddam rakhne ZAEEF HADEES aur AASAAR E SAHABA ko QIYAAS aur Rai par un(Imam Abu haneefa rah)ka Qaul hai aur yahi Qaul Imam Ahmed rah ka hai.

SALAF KE NAZDEEK ZAEEF HADEES SE KYA MURAD HAI?

Aur Hadees e Zaeef se Salaf ki istelah me wo Zaeef murad nahi jo Mutaakhhireen ki istelaah me hai, bal ke MUTAAKHIREEN jisko HASAN kehte hai use Mutaqaddimeen Zaeef kehte the jaisa ke uska bayan guzra.
[IILAAMUL MOQAEEN 145,146]

Dekhye, Imam Abu Haneefa rah ko Hadees se kitna shaghaf tha . Ibne Qayyim rah ne Imam Abu Haneefa rah ka kya maslak bayan kiya hai aur aaj ye ghair muqallideen Imam Abu Haneefa rah se itna Bughz rakhte hain ke Ap Rahmatullahi alaih ko badnaam karne par tule hain.

AHLE INSAAF KHUD INSAAF KAREN AUR IN GHAIR MUQALLIDEEN KE FAREB DEKHEN AUR HOSHYAAR HOJAEN.

FIQH-E-HANAFI KI SANAD:

"Ulema' ne farmaya hai ke Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) se Kitab wa Sunnat ka beej le kar Fiqh ka Kheit Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Raziallahu Anhu) ne boya aur Alqamah (rah.) Ne Usko Seincha aur Ibrahim Naqa'i (rah.) ne Usko kaata aur Hamaad (rah.) ne Usko maanda Ya'ni Anaaj juda kiya bhoose se aur Imam Abu Haneefah (rah.) ne isko Peesa aur Abu Yusuf (rah.) ne Isko Gondha aur Muhammad bin Hasan (rah.) ne Iski Rotiyaan pakaayi aur baaqi sab log isko Khaane wale hain."
[Durre Muqtar]

¤Imam Ibne Hajar Asqalani(R) apni Kitab Tehzeebut Tehzeeb me likhte hain

¤Imam Shafai farmaya karte the ke Log fiqh me Imam Abu Hanifa ki Ayaal hai. Ye bhi farmate the k mai kisi aise shaqs ko nahi jaanta Jo Imam Abu Hanifa se ziada Faqeeh ho.

"Mai AAMASH rah ke majlis me tha to unke paas Ek Admi aya aur unse ek MAsla poocha to unho usko us masle ka jawab nahi diya aur dekha Imam Abu haneefa rah ko to farmaya
"Aye NOAMAN ! is mas'ale ke bare me kaho. imam Azam rah ne farmaya : Iska ye MAS'ALA hai.
Imam Aamash rah ne farmaya:
(ye) kahan se (ksi hadees se bayan kiya)?
imam Abu haneefa rah ne farmaya: is Hadees se jise Ap ne riwayat kiya hai.
rawi kehte hain Imam AAMASH ne farmaya:
"HUM MEDICAL HALL HAIN AUR AP LOG DOCTORS HO"

Not everything is clear in Qur’an and hadith hence the need for the 4 imams and also Ijtihad/istimbaat/Qaiyas.

Some people just don’t understand this, let us provide the habits of the Sahabah.

“Indeed when Abu Bakr [r.a] was faced with any matter (to be ruled on) and he did not find for it (a solution) in the Kitaabullah or in the Sunnat of Rasulullaah [s.a.w], then he would say,

‘I make ijtihaad with my opinion, if it is correct then it is from Allaah Ta`ala and if in error, then it is from myself and I seek forgiveness from Allaah Ta`ala.’”
[Tabqaat Ibn As`ad, vol.3, page 136]

Umar [r.a] wrote to the famous Tabiee, Qaadhi Shuraih (r.h) advising him to practice ijtihaad after exhausting all avenues in the Qur`aan Majeed, Sunnat and Ijma.
[See Masnad Daarmi, page 34 and Kanzul `Ummaal, vol.3, page 174]

Similarly Abdullaah Ibn Mas`ood [r.a] also advised making Qiyaas and ijtihaad after Ijma [Masnad Daarmi, page 34].

This was the practice of Abdullaah Ibn Abbaas [r.a] that when he found no solution in the Kitaabullah, Sunnah or Abu Bakr and Umar [r.a], then he would say, “This is from my opinion.”
[Masnad Daarmi, page 33 / Mustadrak, vol.1, page 130]
