A typical definition of abrogation found in the Jurisprudence
literature is: 'The (heavenly) replacement of one juridical ruling
with a later ruling.' This book surveys the subject of abrogation
(Naskh) in the Qur'an, Hadith and Islamic literature, illustrating
that the concept of abrogation was introduced after the Prophetic
era in order to explain certain verses of the Qur'an and what has
come to be termed as "conflicting Prophetic narrations" (Mukhtalaf
al-Hadith). It goes on to suggest that the "abrogated rulings" were
merely pre-Islamic cultural practices that contradicted with
Islamic principles. Furthermore, the book argues that the Qur'anic
verses and Prophetic narrations, which were misperceived as
"conflicting," should be contextually situated and applied
according to the wisdom behind them with the practical implication
being the validation of all Qur'anic verses and (authentic)
Prophetic instructions regardless of their perceived
contradictions. Allowing Islamic jurisprudence to retain its
flexibility within changing circumstances.
