التفسير بالراي مفهومه و الشبهات المثارة حوله : دراسة على كتاب مذاهب التفسير الإسلامي لجولد تسيهر

Abstract EN

This research aims to study the term ‘Interpretation by Opinion’, and define its tenets, by examining the various definitions suggested by the most prominent scholar of commentary (Tafsir).

The research, also, aims to comment on these established definitions, suggest a new acceptable designation, and respond to the accusations raised by the Orientalist Ignác Goldziher in his book Islamic Schools of Interpretation.

Goldziher discusses the two different approaches to commentary on the Qur’an: Cited Interpretation and Interpretation by Opinion, where has raised some doubts with regard to the latter approach .

Goldziher claims that, according the Islamic doctrine, Interpretation by Opinion is prohibited.

He put forward a proof to his claims based on what he defines as statements made by the early scholars of Islam.

He also claims that this approach constitutes a split and deviation from the accepted and established approach of interpreting the Qur’an through Cited interpretation.

Moreover, Goldziher argues that Interpretation by Opinion is introduced in order to uphold the Infallibility of Allah inherent in the Cited Interpretation .

This research offers a detailed discussion of Goldziher’s argument, and provides refutation for its constituents
