Re: Mutawatir Ahadith superceding Holy Quran's Ayats
Peace All
Instead of asking my questions the way I have been. Let's look at this another way.
Everyone so far feels that rules within the Qur'an are either general or specific. If those rules within the Qur'an that are specific to given conditions and if those conditions are not in place then the relaxing of such rules becomes prevalent.
This is a type of abrogation, but you can call it what you wish. It is only the Hanafi school who call it such, may be, but it is everyone who practices it, though be it in a different guise.
I personally think that the Qur'an portrays a universal message with conditions that apply throughout time. I also believe that the Sunnah contextualises and sets parameters for the Qur'anic ayat telling us when the rules within the Qur'an become binding and when not.
Certain things will never be abrogated of ayat pertaining to:
The narration of a story or event in history
Anything to do with Tawheed
However, some things to do with conduct of one to another may or may not be applicable in certain conditions, I hope people realise this! Therefore I hold onto what I said initially, that is ... it is quite possible that everyone is correct but people need to stop being too strict about terminology definitions so one can see that 'naskh' is actually an array of things one of which is 'replacement' another of which is 'contextualise', etc.
