Abstract

It seems inevitable from the Islamic History, when in the initial days companions started converted to Islam. Phase wisely, they would be trained for their practical life and mental grooming. This training continued for different times with various instructions. Like a doctor prescribes medicines to a patient for a period of time and then changes it, similarly Allah looked upon the capability and strength of men and sent commands accordingly. Such changes and modifications in Sharia Law are known Naskh. It is an indication that finding Naskh in hadith of the Holy Prophet is an important task. Even more important is to search and highlight Juristic Orders on that Naskh. Since there are so many disagreements among Islamic Scholars on Naskh and Mansukh. Till now, nobody has brought it to constant and proper debate. Moreover, the effects of abrogation can be found in the life of Muhammad (SAW). In the initial days, as the Holy Prophet (PBUH) forbade the Muslims from hoarding the meat of sacrifice because people could not find food for eating. Later on when the wealth increased gradually, he gave them permission for doing so. Since the knowledge of hadith has influence over such Sharia orders as well. So, this article tries to find out the essence of Naskh in hadit, its influence on Sharia law and the opinion of Islamic Scholars are analyzed in detail.
