Özet:

XVI. Ebu’l-Hasen Nuruddin Ali b. Sultan Muhammad al-Qari al-Herawi (d. 1014/1605) was a thinker who lived in a period when the struggles of the Ottoman and Safavid states were intense. As a result of Safavid politics, he was a Hanafi scholar who defected to Ottoman lands. However, he had gone beyond the political sectarian principles of the Ottoman central ulama. He examined the fatwas such as the repudiation and killing of the Shiites and stated that the reasons in the fatwas were incompatible with the Islamic court and that the fatwas were not in accordance with Islamic law. He discussed these views both in his scientific assemblies and in his works. The aim of this study is to examine two of Ali al-Qari‘s books in which he explained his views. The first of these is Şemmu’l-Avâriz fî Zemmi’r-Revâfiz and the other is Salâletü’r-Risâle, the summary of this book. In this study, we will focus on the reason of Ali al-Qari’s writing of this book and examine on the similar and different aspects of these two books and we will make a content analysis. Another aim of this study is to express that although the reasons that the Ottoman ulama give for the struggle against the Shiite Safavid state are fairly common, they are not accepted by all Sunni Hanafi scholars.
