Abstract

This study, titled "The Nature of Slander (Qadhf), Transgression Therein, and Related Matters of Testimony and Hadd Punishment as Mentioned by Imam Al-Naysaburi in His Interpretation of Surah Al-Noor – A Comparative Fiqh Study," concerns the examination of rulings related to issues of transgression in slander, and the connected matters of testimony and hadd punishment in Surah Al-Noor, as derived by the scholar Al-Naysaburi in his book, Ragha'ib al-Furqan wa Ghara'ib al-Qur'an. The study aims to highlight these issues, analyze them critically, and explain what the researcher finds most probable based on the implications of the texts and the statements of scholars concerning them. Among the most important findings of the researcher is that the esteemed scholar Al-Naysaburi, may Allah have mercy on him, mentioned issues related to transgression in slander and the associated matters of testimony and hadd punishment within his interpretation of the verses of Surah Al-Noor. In these discussions, he clarified many of the rulings regarding this subject, transgression in slander, and the related aspects of testimony and the hadd punishment. The research concluded with several key findings, notably the importance of giving attention to the legal rulings mentioned by exegetes in their interpretations of legal verses (ayat al-ahkam), and their derivation of rulings related to various Fiqh topics. This approach offers a valuable academic addition to this specific type of tafsir and to the Quranic library in general. The research recommends writing further scholarly papers related to other topics and Fiqh issues mentioned by Imam Al-Naysaburi in his tafsir.
