ÖZ
Bu çalışma, Ahmed b. Hanbel’in fakihliği ile ilgili tartışmaların sosyo-politik
arka planını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Ahmed b. Hanbel, herkes tarafından
bir muhaddis olarak kabul edilmekle beraber, onun fakihliği tartışma
konusu olmuştur. Esasında Ahmed b. Hanbel, fakih olmak gibi bir iddiaya sahip
olmamış, fıkıh ile ilgili herhangi bir eser telif etmemiş ve yaşadığı dönemde de
böyle bir tartışma gündeme gelmemiştir. Mihne sürecinin Ehl-i Hadis’in zaferiyle
sonuçlanması, hadis ile fıkhın eşitlenmesine ve Ahmed b. Hanbel’in de fakih
olarak şöhret kazanmasına neden olmuştur. Bu durum, Ahmed b. Hanbel’in vefatından
birkaç asır sonra bile onun fakih olup olmadığı ile ilgili tartışmaların
gündeme gelmesine yol açmıştır. Ahmed b. Hanbel’den sonra oluşumu tamamlanan
Hanbeli mezhebinin mensupları, Ahmed b. Hanbel’in fakihliğini ortaya
koymaya çalışmış ve bunu kabul etmeyenleri de baskı altına almışlardır.
Çalışmamızda öncelikle sözü edilen tartışmaların tarihi arka planı tesbit edilecek,
ardından Ahmed b Hanbel’i fakihler arasında saymayan kimselerden söz
edilecektir. Daha sonra Ahmed b.Hanbel’in fakih olarak kabul edilmeme sebepleri
ve fakihliğini ispatlama çabaları üzerinde durulacaktır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Ahmed b. Hanbel, Mihne, Fakih, Muhaddis.
