Principles and Implications of Tacit Hadith: A Critical Analysis of the Views of Hadith Scholars and Jurists

Abstract

Tacit Hadith (Hadith al-Taqrir) occupies a significant place in the sources of Islamic law as it represents the silent approval of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) regarding the sayings or actions of his companions. This category of hadith, alongside the Prophet’s sayings and actions, provides vital guidance for understanding Shariah and deriving legal rulings. Scholars of Hadith and Fiqh have extensively analyzed the principles of Hadith al-Taqrir, its authenticity, and its methodological role in Ijtihad. The study examines the concept of tacit approval, the conditions under which it becomes authoritative, and its effects on legal reasoning and juristic applications. A comparative analysis of classical and contemporary scholars reveals that Hadith al-Taqrir not only validates certain actions but also sets a precedent for deriving laws when explicit texts are absent. Furthermore, the study highlights how jurists applied these principles across various schools of thought, illustrating its practical impact on issues of worship, transactions, and social matters. The research underscores that while there are minor differences among scholars regarding the scope and conditions of its authority, there is consensus on its acceptance as a source of law. In conclusion, Hadith al-Taqrir reflects the Prophet’s guidance beyond verbal and practical teachings, thus enriching the legal and ethical framework of Islam.
