Akhbaris: Difference between revisions

With [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] (d. 413 A.H./ 1022) and [[al-Sayyid al-Murtada]] (d. 436 A.H./ 1044) and [[Shaykh al-Tusi]] (d. 460 A.H./ 1068), who wrote the first works concerning the principles (usul) of Imamiyya fiqh, a new movement began in Imamiyya directing the tendencies of Imamiyya scholars of fiqh to deductive fiqh (instead of hadithism) for centuries. The contrast between the two tendencies can be seen in the works of the above scholars. In his [[Awa'il al-maqalat]], Shaykh al-Mufid mentions scholars of deductive fiqh as "fuqaha" simpliciter, and hadithists as "ahl al-naql" (people of hadith), "as'hab al-athar" and the like. In an essay by Sayyid al-Murtada, "as'hab al-hadith" is opposed to scholars of fiqh with a method of usul who were supported by him.
