Khaled Abou El-Fadl, has challenged certain aspects of traditional methodology… Has his work been considered?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

What do you mean by “Has his work been considered?”

There are a number of Muslim academics (including Dr. Abd al-Hakim Jackson) who are working on refutations of Abu’l Fadl. His understanding is far from sound Islamic scholarship. Thus, it is not surprising that he has aberrant or divergent conclusions.

It behooves even students of knowledge to read and re-read the articles by Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad and Shaykh Nuh Keller on the fundamentals of sound Islamic scholarly methodology. These articles may be found on www.masud.co.uk.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani
