When a law is repealed in Islamic jurisprudence, it can be replaced by another law or not replaced at all. If replaced, the new law can be less difficult, of similar difficulty, or more difficult than the previous one. This results in four possible ways in which a law may be annulled and replaced. Understanding these principles of replacement is important for scholars of Islamic law to ensure the proper application of legal rulings

Wani misali na irin wannan shi ne soke sadaqah (kyauta ta sadaka ga talakawa) kafin tattaunawa ta sirri da Annabi (ﷺ). Allah ya umarci muminai kamar haka:

An example of this type was the repeal of sadaqah (a charitable gift for the poor) before private consultations with the Prophet (ﷺ). Allaah commanded the believers as follows:

Daga baya, Ya saki su daga wajibcin, yana cewa,

Later, He released them from the obligation, saying,

Irin wannan nau'in naskh ya faru ne dangane da hukunce-hukuncen azumi. Ibn ‘Umar ya ruwaito cewa lokacin da aka saukar da wannan ayar:

This type of naskh occurred in relation to the laws of fasting. Ibn ‘Umar reported that when the following verse was revealed:

Abinci, abin sha, da jima'i an haramta musu tun lokacin da suka yi sallar dare ko suka kwanta barci har zuwa faduwar rana ta gaba. Sannan Allah ya saukar da ayar,

food, drink, and intercourse were forbidden to them once they prayed the night prayer or went to sleep until the next sunset. Then Allaah revealed the verse,

Wani misali na irin wannan naskh shi ne canjin alkiblar salla daga Baitul Maqdis zuwa Makkah ta hanyar ayar da ke cewa,

An example of this kind of naskh is the change of the direction of prayer from Jerusalem to Makkah by the verse,

Kyakkyawan misali na irin wannan naskh shi ne soke hukuncin da ya ba wanda bai so yin azumi damar ciyar da talaka maimakon haka. Hukuncin da ya maye gurbinsa ya sanya azumi wajibi ga duk wanda ke da ikon jiki.53

A good example of this kind of naskh is the repeal of the law allowing those who did not want to fast to feed a poor person instead. The law which replaced it made fasting compulsory for all who were physically able.53
