Abstract

In Islamic legal theory, mafhoom (implication) is classified into two types: Mafhoom al-Muwafaqah and Mafhoom al-Mukhalafah. While jurists generally agree on the validity of deriving rulings through Mafhoom al-Muwafaqah, there is scholarly disagreement regarding the authority of Mafhoom al-Mukhalafah, particularly among Hanafi jurists.  Its usage in Qur’anic interpretation can be traced back to the first century of Islam, presenting a distinct and meaningful dimension to the understanding of the Qur’an. However, scholarly opinions differ regarding the authority and evidentiary value of Mafhoom al-Mukhalafah. While the majority of jurists consider it authoritative in the interpretation of scriptural texts, legal writings, and general discourse, most Hanafi jurists tend to question its independent legal authority. This article examines the methodological approaches of interpreting the Qur’an through Mafhoom al-Mukhalafah, tracing the origins and development of interpretive reasoning based on implication, and highlighting its significance and effectiveness in legal and exegetical discourse.
