This study aims to explore the methodology of Shaykh Yūsuf al-Qaraḍāwī in understanding the Prophetic Sunnah by linking the principles he presented in his book “Kayfa Nata‘āmal ma‘a al-Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah” with Uṣūl al-Fiqh studies. The significance of this research lies in addressing a scholarly gap: most previous studies have focused on analyzing al-Qaraḍāwī’s maqāṣid-based methodology from the perspective of Fiqh or Uṣūl al-Fiqh, while insufficient attention has been given to his methodological connection with Uṣūl al-Fiqh and his application of Uṣūlī principles in addressing hadith texts. Accordingly, this study analyzes the examples provided in his book for each principle from an Uṣūlī perspective, thereby highlighting the integration of hadith studies within the framework of uṣūl al-fiqh. The researcher employed descriptive, inductive, and analytical methods to examine al-Qaraḍāwī’s applied examples and compare them with Uṣūlī discussions such as the hierarchy of evidence, inductive reasoning, reconciliation and preference (tarjīḥ), consideration of higher objectives (maqāṣid), and the semantics of legal language. The findings indicate that the eight principles set forth by al-Qaraḍāwī for understanding the Sunnah can be summarized into five main themes, which affirm the methodological integration between Uṣūl al-Fiqh and hadith studies. Thus, the study contributes to renewing the methodology of engaging with the Prophetic Sunnah through a systematic Uṣūlī reading.
ملخص البحث
يهدف هذا البحث إلى الكشف عن منهج يوسف القرضاوي في فهم السنة النبوية من خلال ربط المعالم التي عرضها في كتابه "كيف نتعامل مع السنة النبوية" بالدراسات الأصولية. وتبرز أهمية هذا البحث في سد فراغ علمي؛ إذ أكثر الدراسات السابقة تتركز على تحليل المنهج المقاصدي للقرضاوي من جانب الفقه أو علم الأصول، بينما لم تبرز بالقدر الكافي بصلته المنهجية بعلم الأصول ولا بكيفية توظيفه للضوابط الأصولية في معالجة النصوص الحديثية. ومن هنا، جاء هذا البحث محللا الأمثلة الواردة في كتابه لكل معلم من منظور أصولي؛ بما يظهر دمج علم الحديث في إطار أصول الفقه. وقد سلك الباحث في هذه الدراسة المنهج الوصفي والاستقرائي والتحليلي؛ لتحليل الأمثلة التطبيقية التي ساقها القرضاوي ومقارنتها بمباحث الأصوليين مثل: ترتيب الأدلة، الاستقراء، درء التعارض والترجيح، مراعاة المقاصد، ودلالات الألفاظ. وأظهرت النتائج أن المعالم الثمانية التي وضعها القرضاوي لفهم السنة يمكن تلخيصها في خمسة مطالب رئيسية تؤكد التكامل بين علمي أصول الفقه والحديث. وبذلك، يسهم البحث في تجديد منهجية التعامل مع السنة النبوية عبر قراءة أصولية متكاملة
