Hadith methodologists have not dealt with the issue of al-akhbar al-mutavatira in depth because it conta- ins certain information. On the other hand, scholars of fiqh methodology have discussed the issue of al-akhbar al-mutavatira in all its scientific details. The reason why hadith scholars do not give enough space to this issue is because they do not see the subject of mutawatir as a sub- ject of hadith methodology. However, the fact that scho- lars of fiqh methodology, whose aim was to obtain rules from evidence, focused on the epistemological value of al-akhbar al-mutavatira in detail from the early period, caused the methodology of hadith scholars of the later period to partially focus on this issue in their methodo- logy works. In this sense, among the scholars who gave extensive and important discussions on the knowledge and practical value of mutawatir hadith are the Hanafi methodologist Sarakhsî (d. 483/1090 [?]) and the Shafi’i methodologist Ghazâlî (d. 505/1111). The works written by these scholars, who were among the famous metho- dology of fiqh scholars of the period, became important sources for the studies of later scholars. As a matter of fact, the work called al-Mabsûṭ, one of the most famous works in Hanafi furû fiqh, was written by Sarakhsî. Gha- zali, a Shafi’i methodologist, was able to influence many scholars with his views by being an Ash’arite theologian and writing important works in the field of fiqh methodo- logy. In this study, the approaches of Hanafi and Shafi’i scholars of fiqh methodology towards al-akhbar al-mu- tavatira will be discussed comparatively on the axis of Sarakhsi and Ghazali. The reason why these two scholars were chosen is based on their reputation both within their own sect and among other scholars in general. Although there are some differences between these scholars’ ap- proaches to al-akhbar al-mutavatira, it has been deter- mined that sectarian motives are not effective in these scholars’ evaluations of the subject, on the contrary, their understanding of news is very similar to each other, and they benefit from the same arguments when discussing the issues. Based on this, it can be said that the appro- aches of the important representatives of the two Sunni sects towards mutawatir news are largely the same and are fed by the same sources.
