Types of An-Naskh (Abrogation)
1 – The Naskh (abrogation) of the Hukm without replacement or substitution:
Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
O you who have believed, when you [wish to] privately consult the Messenger, present a charity before your consultation (Al-Mujaadilah 12).
This Hukm, which was the presentation of Sadaqah before meeting the Messenger for private consultation, was abrogated by the following Aayah:
Are you afraid of spending in charity before your private consultation (with him)? If then you do it not, and Allah has forgiven you, then (at least) perform As Salat and give Zakat and obey Allah and his Messenger. And Allah is All Aware of what you do (Al-Mujaadilah 13
2 – The Naskh (abrogation) of the Hukm to a (new) Hukm that is lighter than it:
The Mansookh (abrogated) Hukm: One (of the Muslims) standing firm in the face of ten enemies when fighting. Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
If there are twenty steadfast from you then you will overcome two hundred (Al Anfaal 65)
The Naasikh (abrogating) Hukm: One of the Muslims standing firm in the face of two enemies when engaged in battle. Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
Now Allah has lightened for you and He has known that there is weakness amongst you. So if there are one hundred from you who are steadfast they will overcome two hundred (Al-Anfaal 66).
3 – The Naskh of a Hukm to a Hukm that is comparable to it: The Mansookh (abrogated Hukm): Directing the prayer in the direction of Al-Quds due to the command of the Messenger of Allah (saw).
The Naasikh (abrogating) Hukm: Directing the prayer towards the Ka’bah.
Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a Qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer] (Al-Baqarah 144).
4 - The Naskh of a Hukm to a Hukm that is more severe:
The Mansookh (abrogated) Hukm: Reprimanding the Zaani and confining them to house arrest as taken from His Qawl Ta’Aalaa:
Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way. And the two who commit it among you, punish them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful (An-Nisaa’ 15-16).
The Naasikh (abrogating) Hukm: Lashing the non-Muhsin (married) with one hundred lashes which is taken from the Qawl of Allah Ta’Aalaa:
The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes, and let not any pity for them restrain you in regard to a matter prescribed by Allah (An-Noor 2).
