Ijma And Tawatur In The Context Of Wuzu And Acts Which Nullify It
Exactly. Then why do Wudu all over again? If at all, it should have made one do istinja again, rather than wudu.
If we don’t focus just on this specific topic but speaking in general- we have found many such traditions (beard + adhan In newborn’s ear) being started and can trace them back to a hadith. But who’s to say that there are a few traditions that 1. We don’t have any trace back to a hadith but in reality it was taken from one 2. People just accepted it without stumbling because they thought hadith were a source of Islam
People taking beard as a sunnah. It’s not falsifiable to say that the sunnah was always taken/recorded from ijma and tawatur. The Quran was never regarded as being taken from ahadith in that way.
See- a few scholars plotting a scheme here would not work as the Quran was memorised exactly and orally snd was a fabric of the Islamic civilisation- as it is today. Sunnah was mostly transferred this way, but was believed to be able to be changed by ahadeeth by adding some rules or tweaking the sunnah a bit- the same way it is today. So the society would not accept a change in the Quran also because it was God’s exact words. Whereas they would accept in their worldview sunnah being formed from ahadeeth
Farahi school has only made these facts more prominent otherwise major scholars of Qirat in the past already conceded this fact. These seven just got popular and seven Qirats of Quran became a misnomer, otherwise there were as many as 30 or even more reported through Ahaad (some of which gained tawatur later on starting from Ahad), but ijma of ilm always conceded this fact that only Tawatur is that of Qirat-e-aama. It is only through ijma and tawatur that this can be disproved otherwise Quran would’ve had lost its authenticity. The same is the case with Sunnah.
Things that invalidate wuzu are well known to everyone. The blood thing is a matter of fiqh and ijtihaad and is clearly distinguished from other known nawaqis of wuzu. Only 3-5% of religion in fiqh books is Sunnah in the former meaning and is clearly distinguished from the rest of the fiqh and its interpretation.
This definitely helps a lot. I’ll be sure to annoy you further when I think of something 😅
