The Impact of Differences among Muslim Fundamentalists

Abstract

This study investigates the views of fundamentalists with regard to the meaning of preference and the impact of their differences on that meaning. The study has shown that the majority of scholars define preference as an act of the scholar while the Hanafis see that preference has to do with overweighing an opinion. This argument has resulted in their different methodologies of preferences. For example, the majority of scholars have permitted the support of one evidence to another while the Hanafis have rejected that because they believe that preference takes the place of evidence. Thus, the majority overweighed the narration that is associated with a large number of evidence, narrators, peculiar chains of narration, or trustworthy narrators while the Hanafis rejected that.
