maulana, agla sawal chennai se aya hai maulana ilyas ka. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana, in your book tajdid-e-deen, page number 10, you have written: ab zarurat hai ke hadith ko khud ek mustaqil ilm ki hesiyat se parhane ka rivaj dala jaye. maulana, please explain the meaning of this statement with an example. dekhen, woh woh jo statement hai. to aisa ho gaya hai baad ke zamane mein,
53:39
baad ke zamane mein aisa hoga ke hadith ko fiqh ke tabe kar diya jayega. yani pehle fiqh hai, uske baad hadith. fiqh mein kuch masail banaye aur hadith se usko nikalne lage. to main ne yeh kaha hai ke yeh "putting the card before the heart" sahih hai. yani abhi hadith ko yeh darja dena chahiye ke fiqh uske tabe ho. ulta kar diya gaya hai, ulta kar diya gaya hai. is ki wajah is misalein di hain, is kitab aap parh lijiye, is ko aap ne shayad is ko ghaur se nahi parha. isi kitab mein, isi kitab mein misal mil jayegi aap ko dobara agar parhen aap to.
