With this article, it is aimed to reveal the meaning and scope of the concept of mandub in usul al-fiqh. For this purpose, the views of scholars of the procedure of fiqh from different schools were revealed and compared. In addition, the way the mandub is fixed and the points where it differs from the wajib are mentioned.
It is seen that the concept of mendub (or nedb) is a widely used concept in the usul al-fiqh. However, it cannot be said that this concept has the same meaning and scope in the eyes of all procedural scholars. The scholars of the procedure attributed different meanings to the concept of mandub according to the schools they belong to. In this way, the difference in meaning of mandub draws attention when reading fiqh-style books. In some cases, this difference in meaning causes confusion.
During the research, it was seen that Hanafis and other majority scholars use the word mandub in a different sense. Majority of scholars named the concept of mendub as wajib for the things that were strictly and definitively ordered to do. In that case, the things that are wanted to be done or considered good, except for orders and demands that express an obligation, are generally named as mandub. By this chance, everything that is below the degree of wajib and that is demanded to be done or considered superior to its abandonment is included in the concept of mandub.
On the other hand, Hanafi procedural scholars are the provisions of the proposal that are ordered to be made or considered well and recommended; they have listed it as fard, wajib, sunnah and futile. As for mandub, that is expressed as another name for nafil in this ranking. In this case, sunnah and mandup are seen as different provisions.
The results we have obtained as a result of this study regarding the meaning expressed by the concept of mandub in usul al-fiqh can be expressed as follows: The concept of mandub means different meanings in the schools of fiqh.
According to Hanafi scholars, the concepts of sunnah and mandub are seen as different types of judgments. Accordingly, the things that were practiced by the Prophet and became a constant practice by Muslims are included in the scope of sunnah. However, the things that were not widely practiced by the Prophet and Muslims but still recommended to be done and which were abandoned were named as mandub or futile. In this case, according to Hanafis, mandub has a rank below sunnah.
According to the majority of the scholars of the procedure, the concept of mandub has a wider meaning and scope than the use of Hanafis. For, they are generally named as mandub, what is wanted to be done or considered good, except for orders and demands that express necessity. As for the determination that a request is mandub, it is understood by demanding what is wanted to be done in a way that does not imply obligation. Or, even though the demand includes an order, it is understood that it has turned into a mandible with evidence showing that there is no obligation.
Mendup (veya nedb) kavramının, fıkıh usulünde oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılan bir kavram olduğu görülmektedir. Buna karşın bu kavramın, bütün usulcüler nazarında aynı anlam ve kapsama sahip olduğu söylenemez. Zira usulcüler, mensup oldukları ekollere göre mendup kavramına farklı anlamlar yüklemişlerdir. Bu durum usul kitapları okunurken dikkati çekmekte ve bazı durumlarda karışıklığa da sebep olmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu makale ile mendup kavramının, fıkıh usulcüleri nazarında ifade ettiği anlamın ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda mütekellimîn metodunu benimseyen usulcülerin kullanımında mendup kavramının, Hanefîlerin kullanımına göre daha geniş anlam ve kapsama sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Zira mütekellimîn usulcüler, vücûbiyet ifade eden emir ve talepler dışında yapılması istenilen veya iyi görülen şeyleri genel olarak mendup kavramı ile ifade etmişlerdir. Hanefî usulcüler ise yapılması emredilen veya iyi görülüp tavsiye edilen teklifî hükümleri; farz, vacip, sünnet ve nafile şeklinde sıralamışlar ve mendubu bu sıralamadaki nafilenin diğer bir ismi olarak ifade etmişlerdir. Bu durumda Hanefîlerin kullanımında mendup, mütekellimîn usulcülerin ıstılahında ifade ettiği anlama göre hem daha dar kapsamlı olmakta, hem de mertebe olarak daha alt bir konumda bulunmaktadır.
