[quote]Bro masahibzada, thanks a lot for your post. I admire your devotion to your deen. However, I would like to ask, and everyone is welcome to give their viewpoints:

1) There was a reason why, when the Prophet, sws, recommended steps for the overall good of society, he also offered the reasons, or at least, the ahadith give us the circumstantial facts based on which, the Prophet, sws, recommended something. Don't you think we need to consider his intent for circumstance-specific sayings, and to accept his way of worship blue for blue, red for red.... I feel there's a difference between the two. To alter the manasik-i hajj is to alter religion; to use ijtihad on the situation of women, is not quite the same.

2) Also (please correct me if I'm wrong), you are suggesting that the transmission of ahadith was just as authentic as that of the Qur'an. Why then, in the sahih, do you find Aisha (rta) married to the Prophet, sws, at the time that she was a minor? Does that not contradict the Qur'an? Do you seriously believe that our Prophet, sws, agreed to marry a child, or would you rather take a stand: that he could never have done anything unnatural to human values and/or going against the word of Allah, and that instead, something is wrong with such ahadith? I realise that this example is in no way directly relevant to the issue at hand, but I'm just trying to infer where ahadith should stand in our model of religion.

Wasalaam.
