My Opinion In Respect To Shar’u Min Qablinaa
The Shar’u Min Qablinaa is not a Shar’a for us and it is not considered to be from the Adillah Ash-Shar’iyah. The Daleel for that is the Kitaab, the Sunnah and the Ijmaa’ As-Sahaabah.
1 - As for the Kitaab:
Allah (swt) has said:
Verily, the Deen with Allah is Islaam (Aali ‘Imraan 19).
And He (swt) said:
And whoever seeks a Deen other than Islaam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be from the losers (Aali ‘Imran 85).
And Islaam is the Deen that Allah (swt) revealed upon Muhammad (saw).
The meaning of the first Aayah is that the Deen that is considered to be acceptable to Allah after the sending of the Messenger Muhammad (saw) is the Deen of Islaam.
And the meaning of the second Aayah is that whoever embraces a Deen other than the Deen of Islaam after the sending of Muhammad (saw) then Allah will not accept that from him and he will be from amongst the losers in the hereafter. This is supported by the fact that the Nasraaniy (Christian) and Yahoodiy (Jew) are addressed by the Sharee’ah of Islaam and commanded to leave their Sharee’ahs. In addition, Christianity and Judaism after the sending of Muhammad are considered to be Kufr (disbelief) and their adherents Kuffaar (disbelievers). This indicates that the Shar’u Min Qablinaa is not a Shar’a for us and indeed it indicates that it is Haraam to follow the Shar’u Min Qablinaa.
