The article addresses the historical debate within Islamic thought regarding the role of the intellect in understanding and interpreting Islamic laws. It distinguishes between two groups: one that rejects subjecting the Book of Allah and its rulings to reason, limiting the role of intellect to verifying the authenticity of hadiths; and another that advocates for the use of reason in understanding the Sunnah and ensuring its authenticity, emphasizing that sacred texts are preserved by God's protection and that there is no danger of alterations.
