arabic تفويض is an arabic term meaning relegation or delegation with uses in theology and law 1 in theology edit in islamic theology tafwid or tafwid al amr li llah relegation of matters to god is a doctrine according to which the meanings of the ambiguous verses of the qur an should be consigned to god alone 1 2 3 those who follow this school do not utilize metaphorical interpretation rather they leave problematic texts uninterpreted believing that the reality of their meaning should be left to the one who said them 4 implying their unknowability 5 the doctrine of tafwid which was held by a number of classical scholars such as al ghazali and whose origin they attributed to the salaf exemplary early muslims states that the quranic expressions such as god s hands or face do not carry the literal meanings their counterparts in human beings do rather they are attributes or qualities of god and not organs like the face or hands of human beings 6 other classical figures who subscribed to this doctrine were ibn qudamah suyuti ahmad ibn hanbal and ibn kathir 7 the latter discusses tafwid as follows people have said a great deal on this topic and this is not the place to expound on what they have said on this matter we follow the early muslims salaf malik awza i thawri layth ibn sa d shafi i ahmad ibn hanbal ishaq ibn rahwayh and others among the imams of the muslims both ancient and modern that is to let the verse in question pass as it has come without saying how it is meant min ghayr takyif without likening it to created things wa la tashbih and without nullifying it wa la ta til the literal meaning zahir that occurs to the minds of anthropomorphists al mushabbihin is negated of allah for nothing from his creation resembles him there is nothing whatsoever like unto him and he is the all hearing the all seeing qur an 42 11 8 9 the precise nature of tafwid has been subject to debate among muslim scholars 10 the followers of ibn taymiyya including contemporary salafis hold that only the modality of the attributes should be consigned to god tafwid al kayfiyya while the literal sense of the attributes should be accepted according to their lexical meaning in the arabic language 10 thus they argue that the salaf accepted that god has a hand because the meaning of the word hand yad was known but without assuming that god s hand is comparable to a human hand or asking how or why that is 10 in contrast anti salafi scholars reject this distinction and accept tafwid without qualification 10 divorce edit in islamic personal status law tafwid refers to a sub type of divorce talaq al tafwid or tafwid al talaq in which the power of talaq the type of divorce normally initiated by the husband is delegated to the wife this delegation can be made at the time of drawing up the marriage contract or during the marriage with or without conditions 1 classical jurists differed as to the validity of different forms of delegation 1 most modern muslim majority countries permit this type of divorce in some form 1 other uses edit the term tafwid has also been used in law with various other meanings related to delegation of power authorization of an act or issuance of a warrant for arrest 1 references edit 1 2 3 4 5 6 john l esposito ed tafwid oxford dictionary of islam oxford university press p 310 isbn 9780195125597 rapoport yosef 2010 ibn taymiyya and his times
