A re-reading of the opinion of the Imamiyyah on “Delegating Legislation” and “Copying the Qur’an with the Sunnah”

Abstract

theology and “abrogation of the book in the Sunnah” in jurisprudential issues are two interrelated topics and can be considered as validators of the theological principles of Usul al-Fiqh. Accepting the authorization of legislation leads to the acceptance of the permissibility of transcribing the book in the Sunnah; likewise if the copying of the book in the Sunnah is denied, the authorization of the legislation is denied. Legislation implicitly, even if it is not intrinsic between these two matters, the present research analyzes the opinions of the most important Shiite scholars regarding these two topics and has reached this conclusion that with no attention to the relationship of theology to the principles of jurisprudence. Similar evidence came in rejecting and accepting these two subjects separately; But there was no explanation in the details of the relationship of the two topics with each other. The authors also concluded that in most cases oral reasons were not used to establish the mandate of the Shari'a to prove the conversion of the book to the Sunnah. Although the reasons for accepting the mandate of the Sharia, if they are valid, can be a good or unique reason for proving the copying of the book in the Sunna
