IBN HAZM [Abu Mahommed 'Ali ibn Ahmad ibn IJazm] (994-1064)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IBN HAZM [Abu Mahommed 'Ali ibn Ahmad ibn IJazm] (994-1064) , Moslem theologian, was born in a suburb of
Cordova
 . He studied history, law and theology, and became a
vizier
  as his father had been before him, but was deposed for heresy, and spent the rest of his life quietly in the country. In legal matters he belonged first to the Shafi'ite school, but came to adopt the views of the Zahirites, who admitted only the external sense of the Koran and tradition, disallowing the use of analogy (Qiyas) and Taglid (appeal to the authority of an imam), and objecting altogether to the use of individual
opinion
  (Ra'y). Every sentence of the Koran was to be interpreted in a general and universal sense; the
special
  application to the circumstances of the time it was written was denied. Every word of the Koran was to be taken in a literal sense, but that sense was to be learned from other uses in the Koran itself, not from the meaning in other literature of the time. The
special
  feature of Ibn Hazt's teaching was that he extended the application of these principles from the study of law to that of dogmatic theology. He thus found himself in opposition at one time to the Mo'tazilites, at another to the Ash'arites. He did not, however, succeed in forming a school. His
chief
 
work
  is the Kitob ul-Milal wan-Nihal, or " Book of Sects " (published in Cairo, 1899).
For his teaching cf. I. Goldziher, Die Zahiriten, pp. 116-172 (
Leipzig
 , (1884), and M. Schreiner in the Journal of the German Oriental Society, lii. 464-486. For a
list
  of his other works see C. Brockelmann's Geschichte der arabischen Literatur, vol. i. (
Weimar
 , 1898), p. 400. (G. W. T.)
