Corc Tarâbîşî’nin Şâfiî’nin Hadislere Yaklaşımına Getirdiği Tenkitler ve Bu Tenkitlerin Değerlendirilmesi
George Tarabishi's Criticisms on al-Shāfiʿī’s Approach to Ḥadīt̲h̲s and Evaluation of These Criticisms

Summary/Abstract: In the Muslim conception of religion, hadiths are considered as the second source after the Ḳurʾān. In the minds of those who believe in the Ḳurʾān, there is no hesitation about the authenticity of this divine book since it has come to us through tawātur. As for the hadiths, since their relation to the Prophet is determined by the method of isnād, criticisms are mostly concentrated at this point. Muslim scholars resorted to the science of al-Djarḥ wa’l-taʿdīl to solve the problem of the attribution of hadiths to Prophet Muhammad. There are criticisms directed towards hadiths and scholars who played significant roles in the formation of the Islamic schools of thought by non-Muslim schloars living in Islamic regions as well. George Tarabishi, a Syrian writer and translator, is a scholar who has written numerous works on Islam and the Arab civilization shaped by Islam. This study focuses on his criticisms of alShāfiʿī’s understanding of hadith in his work, From the Islam of the Qur’an to the Islam of Hadith. Tarabishi’s criticisms against al-Shāfiʿī in his work were identified through document analysis technique and examined through the descriptive method.
