Kedudukan Penggunaan Hadis Ahad Mengikut Perspektif al-Bukhari dan al-Syafie

The issue of using hadith al-ahad as a legal basis in Islamic jurisprudence has generated diverse opinions among scholars. In Islamic legal studies, hadith al-ahad is understood as a source of evidence that is of a speculative (zhanni) nature, rather than definitive (qat'ie), which leads to differences of opinion regarding its legal authority, particularly in discussions related to fiqh and aqidah. While fiqh discussions are often exposed to issues of divergence, differing viewpoints in jurisprudence sometimes provide flexibility for the Muslim community. This study focuses on the differing perspectives on the use of hadith al-ahad by al-Bukhari and al-Shafi'i, exploring their positions within the contexts of fiqh and aqidah debates. The research employs a qualitative methodology, reviewing relevant books and research articles, using an analytical approach to filter, examine, and explain the findings. The study concludes that there is a difference in opinion between al-Bukhari and al-Shafi'i; al-Bukhari recognizes the use of hadith al-ahad comprehensively in both aqidah and fiqh issues, whereas al-Shafi'i limits its use to fiqh discussions, although a minority opinion suggests that he also acknowledges hadith al-ahad as a valid source in matters of aqidah.
