Terms of Excavation and Modification by Imam ibn Faradi A Comparative Study of his views with other Critics'

Abstract

The research explored the terms of excavation and modification issued by Imam Ibn Al-Faradi. We started with a preface of the translation of Imam Ibn al-Faradi and his rank, the definition of the book of “The History of Andalusian Scholars,” and the jargon of excavation and modification discussed by Imam Ibn al-Faradi. We divided the paper into two sections: the first is concerned with the collection of the words of modification by Imam Ibn al-Faradi, in which there are twelve demands. The second explores Al-Faradi’s words of excavation, in which there are twelve demands. We concluded with the most important results; which included that Imam Ibn al-Fardai, whose sayings on excavation and modification are adopted, and his method is characterized by moderation and mediation. Finally, we presented the most important recommendations that include the significant studies that reveal the critics’ approaches in launching the jargon of excavation and modification.
