What is the evidence that some verses of the Holy Qur'an have been abrogated?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
When some scholars mention that a specific verse is abrogated (mansookh), they base it on evidence such as: a statement from a Companion (Sahabi) confirming the abrogation, or understanding a change in ruling through two verses or two hadiths, where the later one abrogates the earlier. This matter is well-known and widespread among scholars, and many books have been written about it, such as "Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Quran" by Al-Suyuti and "Al-Nasikh wal-Mansookh" by Al-Wahidi and Ibn al-Jawzi.
