Interpretation of Hadiths and Methodologies of Islamic Scholars

This chapter explores the methodology of Imam al-Madhik, focusing on the 'amal of the people of Medina versus solitary hadiths, and how Imam al-Shafi'i's deviation from this impacted the Sahih tradition. It emphasizes the significance of 'amal al-Madinah in understanding practices from Sahaba's era, discussing differences among scholars on Hadith authenticity and practices based on its interpretations. Examples from Imam Malik's teachings illustrate the complexity of Hadith interpretations and the importance of following a specific school of thought in Islam.
