Contribution of Mufti Muhammad Farid in Fiqh and His Methodology in Fatawa
Abstract
Mufti Muhammad Farid (d.2005) was one of the finest muftis in Kyber
Pakhtonkhwa. His excellence in Fiqh Hanfi and Ifta can be well demonstrated
through his fatwas. The trust among the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the
result of his fatwas. He has served Hanafi jurisprudence for more than half a
century. The number of his fatwas preserved in the records of the Darul
Uloom Haqqania Akora Khattak is up to Fifty Thousand. He has also served
as a judge and official mufti during the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
This article discusses his brief biography, followed by a detail analysis of his
contributions. Later on, the article focuses on his great fatwa by describing the
characteristics and methodology used in that fatwa. The article summarizes
his style of fatwa and concludes that his fatwas were short, in general, and
were adorned with appropriate rules and conditions, while supporting his
answer by strong arguments from Qurna, Sunnah and Fiqh, when needed.
There are also many fatwas on modern issues. A good tradition of
acknowledging current facts has been established in his fatwa.
