If such a verdict of Abu Hanifah is right...

If such a verdict of Abu Hanifah is right, then all the prostitutes in the market and their associates are not guilty. If this relationship is lawful, why Mutah is made unlawful, although it was sanctioned by Quran? (No. 5) According to Abu Hanifah, to carry the meat of a lawful animal in the pellicle of swine is lawful. Since according to Abu Hanifah, pig is not impure like a dog, a saddle made from pigskin also cannot be unlawful.

On the contrary, analogy demands that when the pellicle of a pig can be used, it is meaningless to abstain from using its skin. (No. 6) It is mentioned in Fatawa Qadi Khan that writing of Quran with urine, blood or any filthy things is lawful for using it as a cure. No doubt, it shows a great insult of the Holy Quran. (No. 7) According to Hidaya[^2], if a man marries his mother’s sister, daughter or any close blood relative purposely and forcibly, he cannot be penalized for it.

Obviously, this verdict resembles the customs of Magians (Fire worshippers) and has no connection with Islamic laws. (No. 8) According to Fatawa Alamgiri and Durr Mukhtar, if a man falsely claims a woman to be his legal wife and produces false witnesses and wins the case and according to the verdict of Islamic judge, he gets that woman, she becomes lawful for him in the sight of Allah and people and that person is not liable for any penalty.

In this way, all kinds of properties, mansions, houses, etc. become legal with the help of false testimonies. What a strange verdict! Doubtlessly, such jurisprudence seems to be the greatest source of promoting false claims. Obviously, all such verdicts are results of analogy and inform about Abu Hanifah’s astounding capability of jurisprudence.

The writer used to be surprised during the period of his ignorance that why there was so much enmity between the Wahhabis and followers of Hanafite faith. Subsequent information showed that the claim of Wahhabis is based on Quran and traditions, whereas Hanafites totally rely upon personal opinion and analogy. Obviously, when a school accords more weightage to personal opinion and analogy, what relation it can have with a sect that relies only on Quran and traditions?

Therefore, it is not unexpected from Wahhabis to be aloof from followers of Hanafite religion. But the same thing is not true for Shafei religion, because Imam Shafei did not rely on personal opinion and analogy, unlike Abu Hanifah.
