The Meaning of Sunnah in Islamic Law | Islamic Jurisprudence | ALSI

Explore the multiple technical meanings of "Sunnah" in Islamic jurisprudence beyond its literal definition as "well-trodden path."

This analysis clarifies how Sunnah can refer to: recommended acts of worship (as distinguished from obligatory duties), legally-sanctioned practices (as opposed to biddah/innovation), practices of the Companions, and most importantly, the comprehensive record of Prophet Muhammad's words, actions, and tacit approvals that constitute a primary source of Islamic law alongside the Quran.

Understand how hadith serves as the written documentation of the Sunnah through these three channels of prophetic legislation.
