Özet:

One of the most frequently used concepts both in the Quran and the Islamic intellectual history is, undoubtedly, the concept of “al-fisq” (الفِسْق) (disobedience, transgression). Derivatives of this word are used in many verses of the Quran, of which vast majority is associated with disbelievers, polytheists and hypocrites. However, the word of “al-fisq” has also been used, from time to time, for certain behaviors of Muslims. When we look at the History of Islamic Sects (al-Mazâhib), we notice that the concept of al-fisq was almost associated with the major sins (al-kabaair) and that the word “al-faasiq” (disobedient person, transgressor) was often used for the perpetrator of major sins (al-murtakib al-kabeerah). In this sense, we can say that a “narrowing” has occurred in the meaning of the word “al-fisq” during the subsequent periods. When we consider the field of Methodology of Hadith, we also come across to a similar situation. Indeed, the expression of a “faasiq narrator” has been used for the perpetrators of major sins and for heterodox persons (al-mubtadi‘) in many sources written on “al-Jarh and al-Taʻdil” field. In this presentation, the concepts of “al-fisq / fasiq” were tried to be taken into consideration in terms of acceptance of the news.
