The Role Of Hadith Sciences In Addressing Contemporary Issues

Abstract

The sciences of Hadith are among the most honorable and precise branches of Islamic Sharia, and they have a profound impact on all Islamic sciences, as they are all based on knowledge of the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) sayings. Consequently, Hadith sciences play a fundamental role in organizing the affairs of Muslims and addressing their various issues. This research aims to highlight the role of Hadith sciences in solving the problems faced by Muslims and resolving many of their complexities. Proper application of these principles ensures that the realities of Muslims are built on solid foundations, helping them avoid conflicts and disputes, especially in our contemporary world where matters have become more intertwined, and long-held certainties have weakened. This study includes an introduction that outlines the science of Hadith and its merits, followed by a discussion of some Hadith principles and issues that, if applied, would resolve many contemporary issues. It concludes with recommendations and a summary.
