This article covers a wide array of issues in Islamic law, including the intricate rules governing ablution (wudu). Ablution, an essential ritual purification, is mandatory before engaging in specific acts of worship, such as prayer. The analysis of “Al-Hidaya” reveals various disagreements regarding the procedural and conceptual aspects of ablution among different Islamic schools of thought (mazhabs). This article delves into these disagreements, elucidating key points of contention, underlying principles, and their implications for contemporary Islamic jurisprudence. Through qualitative analysis supplemented by historical and comparative methodologies, the study utilizes primary sources including the original text of “Al-Hidaya” and secondary sources such as scholarly articles and commentaries. Comparative analysis with seminal works like “Al-Muwatta” by Imam Malik and “Al-Umm” by Imam Shafi'i highlights the unique contributions of “Al-Hidaya” to the science of legal disagreements (hilyaf). The findings underscore “Al-Hidaya's” role in promoting legal tolerance, inclusivity, and adaptability, making it an enduring and influential resource for contemporary scholars and practitioners.
