Book excerpt: In our era where trials and tribulations have increased, partisanship and fanaticism towards particular ideologues have reached their pinnacle, and with the emergence of pseudo-scholars and ‘academicians’ calling for the reinterpretation of the Qur’ān and Sunnah, it was indispensable to reinstitute the forgotten, yet important, as well as decisive principle: ‘fahm as-salaf’ (the understanding of salaf). This book primarily explores the epistemology of ‘fahm as-salaf’; its reality, its meaning, its importance, its maxims, and finally, its authority in Islamic law, cementing it with the statements from the elite Imāms. The book also discusses the concepts of manhaj and madhhab, the differences between them, how they are determined, and who determines them.
