Hakîm es-Semerkandî’nin “es-Sevâdü’l-A‘zam” İsimli Eseri Bağlamında Mâtüridî Akâid Eserlerinde Fıkhî Konulara Yer Verilmesinin Muhtemel Nedenleri

Some developments in the first and second century of the hijri calendar, caused to some theoretical debates among Muslims. The need for an authentic faith system paved the way for the writing of Islamic dogmas. Hakim as-Samarqandi’s (d. 324/953) es-sevadu al-a’zam takes an important place among such kind of studies which was started by Abu Hanifa’s (d. 150/767) Fiqhu’l-Akbar. The distinguishing feature of this study is its inclusion of many Islamic law issues. This article examines the causes of presence of Islamic law issues, generally in theological works, especially in as-Savadu al-a’zam. In the article solid connection between Islamic law and Islamic doctrines, the commitment of the author to Hanafi-Maturidi tradition, a reactional discourse against the opposing parties and the aim to find answers for the problems of the time will be examined.
