Q: What is the principle of Al-Tariqah Al-Dhahiriyyah? Does it conform to the Sunnah? A: Al-Tariqah Al-Zahiriyyah is a well-known school of thought adopted by Dawud Ibn 'Ali Al-Zhahiry, Abu Muhammad ibn Hazm and those who held their opinions. It signifies the adherence to the explicit sense of a given text or doctrine without thinking about Ta'lil (logical and methodical reasoning) or depending on Qiyas (analogy). Scholars of this school of thought do not recognize Qiyas or Ta'lil. They formulate their opinions based on the literal meaning of the commands and prohibitions and totally overlook the rationale and the implicit meanings. For that reason, they were called Zhahiriyyah, because they adhere to the literal meanings without looking into the causes, rationale and Shar'y Qiyas that the Qur'an and Sunnah support. Nonetheless, their views in general are better than that of the people of Ra'y (personal opinion) who totally depend on reasoning and Qiyas and overlook the Shar'y proofs from the Qur'an and Sunnah. The Zhahiriyyah school of thought has some deficits and is condemned for their adherence to the literal meaning of the texts without considering the causes, rationale and the secrets that Allah or His Prophet cited and intended. Accordingly, they committed mistakes in many issues that the Qur'an and Sunnah supported. Allah is the Grantor of success. Shaykh Ibn Baz fatwas
