Qa'idah Fahm as-Salaf as-Salih: Mafhumuha, Hujaytuha, Atharuha

Very thorough research on the famous methodological rule imposing the understanding of the Quran and the Sunnah according to the understanding of the Pious Predecessors.

First the author brings back all the proofs of the Qur'an which enjoin to return to the Salafs in case of divergence of understanding, the proofs of the Prophetic Sunnah, and finally the Ijma' of the people of science and quoting proofs for each of the 4 schools, as well as the scholars of Hadith, Kalam and Sufis. He then cites the arguments by sound logic demonstrating the importance of returning to the Fahm of the Salaf as-Salih.

Then the author explains the repercussions of this rule of following the Salafs in three main areas: Tafsir, 'Aqidah and finally Sunnah and Bid'ah.

Superb research work, methodological, combining theoretical evidence and their practical application.
