The Holy Qur’an is the foundational source of Islamic law and guidance. However, certain verses—when viewed in isolation—may appear to be in contradiction with one another, particularly in the realm of jurisprudential rulings (ahkām fiqhiyyah). This analytical study aims to explore the concept of apparent contradictions (taʿāruḍ ẓāhirī) in Qur'anic legal verses, examine classical and contemporary scholarly methodologies to resolve such contradictions, and evaluate the epistemological and hermeneutical tools used to harmonize conflicting texts. The research delves into selected verses that have been traditionally perceived as contradictory in their legal implications, such as issues related to inheritance, punishment, dietary laws, and social justice. It further analyzes the role of naskh (abrogation), ʿām and khāṣṣ (general and specific), muṭlaq and muqayyad (absolute and restricted), and contextual interpretation in the resolution process. The study concludes that the appearance of contradiction often stems from partial readings, lack of contextual understanding, or absence of integration with Sunnah and scholarly consensus (ijmāʿ). Through a systematic exegetical approach, the Qur’anic system of law reveals its internal coherence and divine wisdom.
