Abstract

A number of precious collections of traditions (hadiths) containing jurisprudential rulings have been damaged in their texts, causing to diminish or reduce their credibility. In the process of jurisprudential inference, it is necessary to organize criteria to evaluate the content of hadiths. The hypothesis of this research is that the element of custom ('urf) can be used as a criterion for criticizing jurisprudential hadiths. In order to prove this view, in a descriptive-analytical method using library sources, first, the concept of customary components, the reasons for their validity according to legal (Sharῑ'a) teachings and intellect (’aql), and the scope of using these components are explained and the mutual relation of Sharῑ'a teachings with customary components are discussed and clarified. Secondly, five of the accepted customary components are identified, as follows: the wises' bases, the wises' way, the practitioners' way, and the general habits and affairs. In addition to explaining the relation of each of these cases with the concept of custom, appropriate examples of hadiths are presented that can be considered weak by using custom components. The final evaluation is that in the process of jurisprudential inference based on hadiths, it will be necessary to refer to these components to validate the hadith.
