[quote][quote][quote] The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If the judge rules and strives his utmost to work it out and gets it right, he will have two rewards, and if he rules and strives his utmost to work it out and gets it wrong, he will have one reward.” [Bukhari & Muslim] Does this hadith contradict the one you have narrated? This hadith is authentic! Let me give you a verse from Quran which will prove my contention is correct. [/quote] your reference is right but the context is wrong. we are talking about the punishment and reward of an 'accuse' not the judge. [quote] "Allah does not lay a responsibility on anyone beyond his capacity". (2:286) Maulana Mawdudi explains the above verse in his tafseer as follows: "Man's answerability to God is limited to by the extent of his ability". If suicide bomber does not even know what he is doing is wrong, how can he be taknen to task for it. [/quote] Maulana is right, but the meaning you have derived from his interpretation is immature and I am afraid it is just opposite of what he has said. Its simply means men are not going to be questioned beyond their capabilities.e.g.a poor is not going to be asked about zakat,because he is not capable of doing that. The problem begins only when the poor goes beyond his 'ability' start paying zakat and finishes everything what he has for his livelihood. Similarly a bomber is asked to fight only within his capacity and not beyond it because he is not made responsible for it.[/quote] The context of Hadith is correct you are twisting the words of Prophet (peace be upon him) to score a point. In al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (33/289) it says: Because of its high status and great virtue, Allaah has decreed reward for it even if one errs, and has forgiven him for passing a wrong judgement. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If the judge rules and strives his utmost to work it out and gets it right, he will have two rewards, and if he rules and strives his utmost to work it out and gets it wrong, he will have one reward.” (Agreed upon) He is rewarded for his ijtihaad and efforts, not for his mistake. You say the ayah "simply means men are not going to be questioned beyond their capabilities". Thats what I am have been saying all along. If suicide bomber does not even have the capability to know what he is doing is wrong, then how can he be questioned for his action. Those fighting in Kashmir are terrosists to some and freedom fighter/Mujahid to others. What you consider to be crime, may not be crime to others. I can show you many examples where this ayah has been interpreted the way I have. Let me know if you are interested. Moreover, Shehzad Saleem, a well known scholar and student of Mr. Ghamidi agrees with my contention. Thats what he wrote in reply to my e-mail: "You are indeed right in your conclusion. If a person sincerly follows a directive (which of course includes that he has ruled out major criticisms on his views) he will be given one reward even if he ends up with a wrong conclusion". I can answer your other points as well but I dont want to spread debate all over the place. Its better if we remain focused on point under consideration.[/quote]
