Abnormal Quranic readings And the Ruling on invoking it According to the Jurists

Abstract

One of the manifestations of the importance of abnormal readings is that a large number of scholars paid attention to them, and many books were written about them showing their importance and their impact on other sciences. We have spoken in this research about the ruling on their Qur’an, and the ruling on using them in deducing legal rulings, and we have concluded that they are not considered Qur’an. It is not permissible to pray with it. As for invoking it, the most likely opinion is that it is permissible to use it in legal rulings according to all jurists, despite their differences in the extent of this invocation. The most extensive jurists in invoking it are the Hanafis and then the Hanbalis. As for the Shafi’is, even though it is well known that they do not invoke it. However, the researcher of their books finds that they have adopted it in a number of issues. They use it as evidence, but with conditions. As for the Malikis, they are the most strict people in citing it, as they did not accept it except in very rare cases.
