One of the most contentious topics in modern Islam is whether one
should adhere to an Islamic legal school or follow scripture
directly. For centuries, Sunni Muslims have practiced Islam through
the framework of the four legal schools. The 20th century, however,
witnessed the rise of individuals who denounced the legal schools,
highlighting cases where they contradict texts from the Qur'an or
Sunna. These differences are exemplified in the heated debates
between the Salafi hadith scholar Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani
and his Traditionalist critics. This book examines the tensions
between Salafis and Traditionalists concerning scholarly authority
in Islam. Emad Hamdeh offers an insider's view of the debates
between Salafis and Traditionalists and their differences regarding
the correct method of interpreting Islam. He provides a detailed
analysis of the rise of Salafism, the impact of the printing press,
the role of scholars in textual interpretation, and the divergent
approaches to Islamic law.
