Rebuttal to those who deny Ijtihad and its necessity - As-Suyuti
الرد على من أخلد إلى الأرض وجهل أن الاجتهاد في كل عصر فرض - الإمام السيوطي
As-Suyuti said in the introduction of his book: “People have been overwhelmed by ignorance, and blinded by the love of stubbornness which made them deaf. So they consider Ijtihad (independent reasoning) as a serious and grave issue, and deemed it repudiated among people. These ignorant people did not know that Ijtihad is one of the legal obligations, which should be fulfilled by a group of people in the Muslim community in every country at all times…”
This book proves that Ijtihad is permanent, continuous, and never interrupted in any age. The author responds to those who deny Ijtihad and ignore that it is an obligation in every age, by citing the sayings of senior Maliki scholars on this topic, and that time does not go without the presence of a Mujtahid. He encourages Ijtihad, enlightens its related benefits, with many chapters dedicated to these topics.
Very nice edition, verified from 2 manuscripts, with authentication and additional annotations.
