Hadiths of Muslim Abandonment between Acceptance and Rejection: Collection, Authentication, Study and Jurisprudence

Abstract

This research aims to collect all the Quranic verses and Hadiths related to Muslim's abandonment, as concluded by the researchers, and to verify and clarify the authenticity of these hadiths. Then, to study and explain the jurisprudence and Islamic rulings to abandonment among Muslims. This is because many Muslims tend to neglect this matter, and there is no distinction between authentic and non-authentic Hadiths in this topic. As a result, many weak and fabricated Hadiths are circulated, which are used to justify the permissibility of abandonment. Even weak hadiths may be used to argue against the permissibility of Muslim abandonment. Therefore, this research is conducted to collect, distinguish, classify, judge and derive the ruling of abandonment from these Quranic verses and Hadiths, relying on evidence from the Quran and the authentic prophetic Sunnah.
