The Hadith 'Scholars are the Heirs of the Prophets' and its Impact on Issues of Islamic Jurisprudence Principles.

Abstract

Many scholars and researchers have taken care to link the principles of jurisprudence with their legal evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah. This research came to address an important hadith that scholars of jurisprudence relied on in many issues of this science, which is the hadith: "Scholars are the heirs of the prophets" The importance of the hadith lies in the comparison between the position of prophet hood and the position of ijtihad, so that we may see through the issues studied in the research the points of agreement between our Prophet May God bless him and grant him peace And the scholars of his nation, and the areas in which they can inherit him.

Thirteen fundamental issues related to this hadith were studied. I presented the most important opinions on them, and limited my evidence to those who adhered to this hadith only, and the discussions that took place around it, in order to finally arrive at the opinion that I tend toward from all of that.

He is alone, without partner. and testify That Muhammad is his servant and messenger May God bless him and grant him peace.
