In Raf' al-Malam 'an al-A'imma al-A'lam Ibn Taymiyya pursues the
argument as to why a mujtahid might depart from directly acting
upon textual evidences. This forms the basis of his discussion
regarding the causes underlying disagreements found among Muslim
scholars in general and their holding differing legal opinions and
proffering divergent arguments in support of those opinions. In
this work, Ibn Taymiyya calls for tolerance and understanding of
the conclusions arrived at by eminent Muslim scholars.
Additionally, he insists that even if a scholar was to err in their
judgement, it should not be assumed that they intentionally ignored
textual evidence as there could be various reasons for what others
consider to be a departure from textual evidences. Hence, according
to Ibn Taymiyya, such scholars should not be seen as blameworthy
and liable to punishment but rather they should be revered as
scholars who exercised their right of ijtihad. Thus, even if such a
scholar was thought to have erred, there would most certainly be a
methodological reason behind such a departure, rather than an
intentional contradiction of the relevant textual evidences.
Additionally, Ibn Taymiyya asserts that liability for the
punishment depends on the existence of certain conditions and the
non-existence of impediments and he affirms that reaching certainty
in this regard is almost impossible as this is clearly a very
complex and complicated process. In this work it is evident that
Ibn Taymiyya benefited from various traditions of learning in which
he excelled, including jurisprudence, Hadith and philosophy and
hence produced a remarkable work which has proved relevant from the
time it was authored about eight centuries ago until our present
day. This work contains the Arabic text Raf' al-Malam 'an al-A'imma
al A'lam and its translation.
