Özet:

The subject matter of abrogation is one of the main subjects of Islamic sciences such as Islamic theology, commentary and hadith in general and that of jurisprudential methodology in particular. Debates on abrogation are mostly on the occurrence on abrogation among the sources (Qur’an, Sunnah, Consensus, Analogy) and that actually forms the focus of debates in methodology. To the majority of muslim scholars, Qur’an’s and Sunnah’s abrogating Qur’an and Qur’an’s and Sunnah’s abrogating Sunnah is permissible. However, jurisprudents are in full agreement that is not permissible that a provision determined by Qur’an and recurrent sunnah is abrogated by solitary hadith, consensus or analogy. But Imam Shâfi’î is of the opinion that Qur’an can only be abrogated by Qur’an and Sunnah can only be abrogated by Sunnah. he thinks that it is not permissible that Qur’an abrogates Sunnah or Sunnah abrogates Qur’an and because of this opinion, he has been exposed to a lot of criticism. As a result, adopting Shafi’i’s mazhab in practice and being among top Ashari’s theologists, Fahreddin al-Razi and Seyfeddin al-Âmidî direct some criticism to Iman Shâfi’î on this matter. Here, in this article, we will be evaluating this criticism. Besides, contrary to Hanafian methodologists, among the references they make, Ashari methodologists’ referrings to Ashari and Mu’tezili are the striking points in the article.
