The Evidential Value of the Sunnah

حجية السنة

By Jafar Sheikh Idris 1406h (1986 CE) 1 volumes

A rigorous philosophical and methodological defence of the Sunnah as a source of binding religious knowledge. Ja'far Sheikh Idris engages orientalist criticism and Muslim revisionism on their own terms, demonstrating that the hadith sciences represent an epistemological achievement superior to any comparable system of historical verification in the Western tradition.
