Usūl al-Qīyās: The Hanafi Approach to Hadith Criticism - Shaykh Dr. Issam Eido

Hadith, Sunna & Hanafis was a one-day, free event on understanding Hanafi Legal Theory and its relationship with the traditions (ahadith) of the Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) hosted by Irshad Classes.

SPEAKER

Dr. Issam Eido is a senior lecturer at Vanderbilt University Department of Religious Studies, and a former Visiting Professor of Islamic Studies and Arabic at the University of Chicago Divinity School (2013-2015). Eido's research focuses on the Qur'anic and Hadīth Studies, and Sufism. Prior to the Syrian uprising, Eido served as a lecturer in the Faculty of Islamic Studies in the Department of Qur'an and Hadīth Studies at the University of Damascus. His doctoral work, 'Early Hadīth Scholars and their Criteria of Hadīth Criticism,' presented a new understanding of the criteria used by Muslim scholars in accepting or rejecting Hadīth and the transformations of that criteria from the classical to the modern period.
