Akwai wasu kalmomi da suke zuwa a cikin Alkur'ani da Sunna da ma'anoni fiye da ɗaya na zahiri; misali, kalmar Qur' (jam'insa Quroo' ko Aqraa'), wadda take nufin jinin haila da kuma lokacin tsarki tsakanin jinin haila.

There are a few words which occur in both the Qur’aan and the Sunnah with more than one literal meanings; for example, the word Qur (plural Quroo’ or Aqraa’), which means menses as well as the time of purity between menses.

To haka ya sa malaman Fiqh suka rabu gida biyu game da fassarar ayar Alkur'ani, "Matan da aka saki su jira tsawon quru'i uku."153

Thus, scholars of Fiqh were divided into two camps concerning the interpretation of the Qur’anic verse, “Divorced women should wait three Quroo’.”153

Fassarar da aka zaɓa ta wani tafsiri tana da muhimmanci sosai wajen duba al'amarin matar da aka sake wadda ta fara haila ta uku. Bisa ga waɗanda suka ɗauki "Qur'" a matsayin lokacin tsarki, saki yana kammaluwa da zarar hailarta ta fara, amma bisa ga waɗanda suka ɗauki "Qur'" a matsayin ainihin haila, ba ya kammaluwa sai bayan haila ta uku ta ƙare.

The particular interpretation chosen makes an important difference when considering the case of a divorced woman who has started her third menses. According to those who considered Qur’ to be the period of purity, the divorce becomes finalized as soon as her menses have started , while according to those who viewed Qur’ as the actual menses, it is not finalized until her third menses have ended.

(i) Malik, Ash-Shafi'i da Ahmad sun yanke hukuncin cewa "Qur'" na nufin lokacin tsarki.

(i) Maalik, Ash-Shaafi’ee and Ahmad ruled that Qur’ meant the period of purity.

(ii) Abu Haneefa ya hukunta cewa "Qur'" na nufin ainihin haila.154

(ii) Abu Haneefa, ruled that Qur’ meant the actual menses.154

Note:

‘Aa’eshah ta ce, "Umm Habeebah tana da jinin al'ada wanda ba ya tafiya daidai, sai ta tambayi Annabi ﷺ game da hakan. Ya umurce ta da ta daina sallah a kwanakin jinin al'adarta."155 An kuma rawaito cewa ‘Aa’eshah ta ce, "Na umurci Bareerah da ta yi iddar watanni uku na haila."156

‘Aa’eshah said, “Umm Habeebah had irregualr menses and she asked the Prophet (s.w.) about it. He told her to stop praying during the days of her Qur’s.”155 ‘Aa’eshah was also reported to have said, “I told Bareerah to observe a waiting period (‘Iddah) of three menses.”156

Waɗannan riwayoyin a fili suke nuna cewa ma'anar "Qur'" da aka nufa ita ce al-haila kanta.

These narrations clearly indicate that the intended meaning of Qur’ is the menses itself.

Akwai kuma wasu kalmomi a cikin Alkur'ani da Sunnah waɗanda suke da ma'ana ta zahiri da kuma ma'ana ta alama. Misali, kalmar "lams" (taɓawa) ana amfani da ita ta zahiri don nuna taɓawa da hannu ko haɗuwar abubuwa biyu, kuma ta alama don nuna jima'i. Saboda haka, malaman shari'a sun kasance da ra'ayoyi uku daban-daban game da ma'anar ayar Alkur'ani:

There are also some words in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah which have both literal and figurative meanings. For example to word Lams (touch) is literally used to indicate touching by the hand or the coming in contact of two objects, and figuratively to indicate sexual intercourse. Thus, the jurists were of three different opinions concernign the meaning of the Qur’anic verse:

Wannan aya tana zuwa ne a cikin yanayin abubuwan da suke karya alwala.159

This verse occurs in the context of the factors which break the state of Wudoo.159

(i) Ash-Shaafi'ee da mafi yawan almajiran sa sun yanke hukuncin cewa "Lams" na nufin taba da hannu ko taɓa jiki. Saboda haka, idan namiji ya taɓa mace ko mace ta taɓa namiji da gangan ko ba da gangan ba, a fata, to dukkansu za su rasa yanayin alwala.

(i) Ash-Shaafi’ee and most of his students ruled that Lams meant the touch of the hand or body contact. Therefore, if a man intentionally of accidentally touche a woman or vice versa, skin, then both of them would lose their state of Wudoo.

(ii) Imam Malik da mafi yawan almajiransa ma sun yi hukuncin cewa lams yana nufin taɓawa da hannu. Sai dai ya sanya sharadi cewa alwala ba za ta karye ba sai dai idan taɓawar tana da daɗi, ko an yi ta da niyya ko ba da niyya ba, fatar jiki da fatar jiki ko kuma akasin haka. Wannan kuma shi ne matsayin da aka fi sani da shi na Imam Ahmad. Sun kafa hujja da cewa abin da ake dogara da shi shi ne samuwar jin daɗi, saboda akwai ingantattun hadisai da ke cewa Annabi ﷺ yana taɓa ƙafar matarsa Aisha domin ya motsa ta daga hanya a lokacin da yake sujada a cikin sallah.160

(ii) Imaam Maalik and most of his students also ruled that Lams meant touching by the hand. However, he stupulated that Wudoo would only be broken if the touch were pleasurable, whether the touch were intended or unintended, skin on skin or otherwise. This was also the most well known position of Imaam Ahmad. They took the position that the dciding factor was the occurrence of pleasure due to the existance of accurate Hadeeths stating that the Prophet (s.w.) used to touch his wife ‘Aa’eshah’s foot in order to move it out of the way when he was making Sujood (prostration during prayer).160

(iii) Imam Abu Hanifah ya yanke hukunci cewa Lams a cikin ayar da ake nazari yana nufin jima'i, saboda haka taba mace ba ya karya Alwala, ko an tare da jin dadi ko ba haka ba.161 Wannan matsaya ta dogara ne akan Hadisin 'Aisha da aka ambata a baya, da kuma wani Hadisi daga gare ta wanda sahabi 'Urwah ya ruwaito, cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya sumbaci wasu daga cikin matansa, sannan ya tafi Sallah ba tare da yin Alwala ba.162

(iii) Imaam Abu Haneefah ruled that Lams in the verse under consideration meant sexual intercourse and therefore, touching a woman did not break Wudoo, whether it was accompanied by a pleasurable feeling of not.161 This position was based on the previously mentioned Hadeeth of ‘Aa’eshah as well as another from her reported by the Sahaabee, ‘Urwah, that the prophet (s.w.) kissed some of his wives then left for Salaah without performing Wudoo.162

Akwai kuma wasu tsare-tsaren nahawu a cikin harshen Larabci, waɗanda ke da ma'ana biyu (ba a bayyana ma'anarsu ba). Misali, kalmar "ilā" (zuwa).

There were also certain grammatical constructions in Arabic, which were ambiguous. For example, the word elaa (to)

Kalmar "ilā" na iya nufin "har zuwa amma ba har da", kamar yadda yake a cikin ayar Alkur'ani, "Kuma ku cika azumi har zuwa (ilal) dare."163

could simply mean “up to but not including”, as in the case of the Qur’anic verse, “And complete the fast up to (elaa) the night.”163

Ana ci gaba da azumi har zuwa Maghrib (faɗuwar rana), farkon dare, amma ba ya haɗa da dare kansa. Babu wata takaddama game da wannan fassarar. Duk da haka, "elaa" na nufin kuma "har zuwa, har da" kamar yadda yake a cikin ayar Alƙur'ani: "Kuma za Mu kora masu laifi zuwa (elaa) Jahannama kamar garken dabbobi masu gajiya."164

The fast is continued up to Maghrib (sunset), the beginning of the night, but does not include the night itself. There is no dispute about this interpretation. However, elaa also means “up to and including” as in the Qur’anic verse, “And We will drive the guilty up to (elaa) Hell like a weary herd.”164

Saboda haka, malaman fiqh sun sami ra'ayoyi biyu game da ma'anar wannan ayar ta Alkur'ani wadda ke bayyana wani bangare na yadda ake yin Wudu'i:

Thus, Fiqh scholars held two opinions concerning the meaning of the following Qur’anic verse describing an aspect of the performance of Wudoo:

(i) Almajirin Abu Hanifa, Zufar, da Ibn Daawood adh-Dhaahiree166, da wasu daga cikin almajiran Malik, sun fassara wannan ayar da cewa "har zuwa amma ba har da gwiwar hannu ba."167

(i) Abu Hane4efah’s student Zufar, Ibn Daawood adhDhaahiree166 and some of Maalik’s students interpreted this verse to mean “up to but not including the elbows.”167

(ii) Dukkan Imamai huɗu sun yi hukuncin cewa ayar tana nufin "har zuwa da har da gwiwar hannu."168 Wannan matsayi yana samun goyon baya daga bayanin da ke cikin ingantattun Hadisai game da yadda Manzon Allah ﷺ ya kasance yana yin alwala.169

(ii) The four Imaams all ruled that the verse meant “up to and including the elbows.”168 This position is supported by the description found in authentic Hadeeths of the Prophet’s (s.w.) method of performing Wudoo.169
