A rejected objection. This is because the texts are present in the wisdom of the teeth, and Ibn Abbas was not unaware of them. He only did that as a form of approximation. In this refutation, there is also an ambiguity represented by generalizing the statement about the presence of texts in the wisdom of the teeth. The context requires specifying those texts, especially concerning the blood money for fingers, which is the subject of discussion. This is what Ibn Hazm did in his refutation of this argument. He cited a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas himself, which states that the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, said: "Fingers are equal, and teeth are equal. The incisor and the molar are equal. These and these are equal." This is a text regarding the blood money for fingers (meaning the thumb and the little finger), leaving no room for analogy. What Ibn Abbas did was not an analogy, but rather a call to contemplation and consideration that the difference in benefits does not necessitate a difference in blood money. As for the jurisprudential issues that Al-Mahdi mentioned the jurists erred in due to their use of analogy, he cited a number of them in the context of emphasizing the invalidity of analogy by showing what it leads to in terms of error. We mention from those issues the following: The view that a woman who apostatizes is not killed, and that the saying of the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, "Whoever changes his religion, strike his neck" is addressed to men only, based on what was reported about not killing women. This view is invalid because it equates the apostate woman with women whom Muslims fight against not being killed, while the meanings are different between the two matters. The meaning in not killing women is due to their weakness and limited capacity in fighting, and this is in the context of jihad. As for killing, Ibn Hazm mentioned (47) in Al-Ahkam that Ibn Abbas said regarding the blood money for fingers: "Have you not considered this in the teeth? Their blood money is equal, even if their benefits differ." Those who affirm analogy used this saying as proof. See: Al-Ghazali, Al-Mustasfa (244). See: Ibn Tumart, Risalah fi Anna Al-Shari'ah La Tathbut bil-'Aql (176). Narrated by Abu Dawud in the Book of Blood Money, Chapter on the Blood Money of Limbs (49). And thereafter (50). Narrated by Al-Bukhari in the Book of Jihad, and Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah in the Book of Punishments, Chapter on the Apostate, with the wording "Whoever changes his religion, kill him" (51). Among these is what Abu Dawud narrated in the Book of Jihad, Chapter on Killing Women, that a woman was found killed in some of the campaigns of the Messenger of God (52). The Messenger of God, peace be upon him, disapproved of killing women and children. Abu Hanifa relied on this prohibition and ruled against killing the apostate woman, contrary to the majority. See: Ibn Rushd, Bidayat Al-Mujtahid (529). 301
