Description
Negotiating Meanings: Engagement with Problematic or Contradictory Had?ths in Medieval and Modern Times is the first serious study in English on the subject of mushkil al-had?th (problematic had?ths). Within the pages of the book, readers will encounter the tradition of engaging with contradictory had?ths, traversing the realms of law, theology, and science. This volume emphasizes the significance of the riw?yah (transmission) and dir?yah (comprehension) traditions, which provides an understanding of the interpretive process. Going beyond historical investigation, the book also examines the contemporary problematization of had?th, investigating the external and internal causes that have shaped discussions surrounding these texts. This volume invites scholars to explore the hidden aspects of the interpretive tradition, offering new insights and shedding light on problematic and contradictory had?ths.
