Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of citations attributed to Imam al-Ghazali by Imam al-Ubayyari in his commentary Al-Tahqiq wa al-Bayan and analyze their key disagreements regarding the doctrine of abrogation (naskh).
Applied an analytical-comparative methodology based on principles of induction and scholarly documentation in Islamic legal theory.
Collected divergent citations from al-Ubayyari's commentary on Al-Burhan and cross-referenced them with al-Ghazali's original treatises to verify textual accuracy.
Al-Ubayyari diverged from al-Ghazali on two central matters: the formal definition of abrogation and the legal permissibility of abrogating the Qur’an and mass-transmitted traditions (mutawatir) using solitary reports (ahad).
Al-Ubayyari's critique of al-Ghazali’s definition of abrogation aligned with broader critiques raised by other classical scholars of Islamic legal theory.
