Abstract

Naskh (نسخ) is an Arabic language word usually translated as ‘abrogation’. It is a term used in Islamic legal exegesis for ‘lifting of a legal rule through legal evidence of a later date’. The abrogating text or evidence is called nasikh, while the repealed rule is called mansukh. The principle of naskh (abrogation) is referred to in the Quran itself and is not a later historical development.

Knowledge of al-nasikh wa al-mansukh is important because it concerns the correct and exact application of the Laws of Allah. Legal ruling is not acceptable from a person who does not have such knowledge. Discussion of Ijtihad cannot be complete without examination of the doctrine of naskh (abrogation).

In this paper, we have tried to record debates over this issue and present a descriptive account of the traditional subject of "نسخ". Terminology related to the understanding of "Anasikh" has been treated with detail. We have also tried to describe distinctions drawn by the jurists, between abrogation and the related terminology.
