Quran and Hadith contain two types of principles- the worded principles
and un-worded principles. The worded principles are those which have
come on the surface through wahi and these are found in the form of
Words in the texts of Quran and Hadith. The un-worded principles are
those which are not found in the form of words in the texts of Quran and
Hadith and which do not come on the surface through wahi; rather they
are discovered from Quran and Hadith through human intellectual
exertions. The worded principles are called sources of Islam; the
un-worded principles are called Islamic Thinking. Islam/Deen is combination of both sources of Islam and Islamic Thinking. The Quran and Hadith/ worded principles are Al -haque; Islamic Thinking is 'Haque'. Denial of Al-haque is 'kufr'- denial of Hadith means to deny a hadith, knowing that it is rightly attributed to our Nabi s.a.w.w. Denial of 'Haque' is 'Batil' / sin, in the light of al-maidah-44 (for details plz see https://secondriseofislam.blogspot.com/2017/03/fallacy-of-takfeeri-doctrine.html#links). Denial of 'Haque' is also Sin/Batil in the light of al-nisaa-59 which states:
"O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in
authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to
Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last
Day. That is the best [way] and best in result".
This verse states that Muslims should obey men of authority (leadership)- state leadership or religious leadership. If people disagree with what they are commanded by leadership, decision will be taken on the basis of what Allah and Rasool s.a.w.w. has given- means on the basis of principles contained in Quran and Hadith. In other words, Muslims are being directed to obey such orders/ decisions of leadership, which are based on Quran and Hadith. If we do not obey this Quranic commandment, we will be committing sin . It may also be appreciated that Islamic Thinking may have different views but not contradictory views. If religious leadership gives different views/ commandments relating to the same issue, denial of majority leadership's commandment would be sin/ 'batil'.
