The principle of ease in the Hanafi school: The example of al-Hidâya

Almighty God (c.c.), in the Noble Qur'an, "Allah (c.c.) does not hold anyone accountable for what he is not able to do" (Baqara, 2/286) He declared that he holds a person responsible as far as he can and does not burden him with anything that he cannot handle. Islam, sent as the last religion, has come with a great law that regulates the relations of people with Allah (c.c.) -man and human-human relations in almost everything, such as worship, Decrees and morality. The decrees of Islam are full of conveniences for people from beginning to end. No provision of Islam is difficult and impossible for people. Even at the time when the decrees of Islam were first announced to people, decrees were introduced to the extent of people's consent, and verses stating orders and prohibitions were put into operation gradually for taxpayers. People have been made ready for the laws of Islam in this way. Allah (c.c.) "We have sent you only as a mercy for all mankind" (Anbiya, 21/107) The Prophet whom he sent to be a mercy to the worlds by saying. The Prophet (s.a.v. he has never made painful judgments for his ummah. The Prophet (s.a.v.) when some situations that can be called difficult for people occur, he resolved these issues by making them easier to the extent possible. Hz. From the Prophet (s.a.v.) the mujtahid imams who came in later periods also sought solutions to the problems of Muslims on the basis of the principle of convenience. In our study, we tried to explain how the provisions of the Qur'an, sunnah, consensus and comparison contained in Islamic law are passed in the fatwas of the Hanafi sect and in the work called al-Hidaya within the framework of the principle of convenience. With this study, we have once again emphasized that Islam is a very easy and livable religion for people. . Keywords: Islamic Law, Hanafi School, el-marginânî, el-Hidâyah, Priciple of Ease, Taysîr
