Abstract
This article provides a deep historical and methodological analysis of the key concepts of “Ra’y” and “Ahl al-Ra’y” within the history of Islamic legal thought. The primary goal of this research is to move beyond the narrow and negative interpretations of these terms–such as “personal whim” or “contradiction to primary religious texts” – and reveal their true methodological significance. The study also aims to investigate the place of the term “ra’y” in Islamic legal thinking, analyze the historical development of the Iraqi (Kufan) school known as “Ahl al-Ra’y,” and examine its role in the formation process of the Hanafi madhhab. The research problem lies in clarifying the reasons and contexts behind why ra’y was used, not in opposition to the Nass (texts of the Qur’an and Sunnah), but as a supplementary legal source that evolved from an early juristic practice into a systematic methodology within the Hanafi school, which subsequently led to criticism from the Ahl al-Hadith. The analysis concludes that the Ahl al-Ra’y school emerged out of necessity in the socially and economically complex society of Iraq, operating on a systematic and methodological basis. Furthermore, this research demonstrates that the objective of the Ahl al-Ra’y, particularly the Hanafi jurists, was to ensure legal justice and flexibility by adapting the provisions of the Shari’ah to evolving social conditions and new contemporary issues.
