Abstract:

 Law; İt is all kinds of socio-ethical rules that regulate human life through customs, religion, morality and collective structures. on the other hand, Islamic law, is a legal system that regulates Muslims views of the world and the hereafter and remains still current, since from the fact that it has been founded in the time of the Prophet pbuh and been surviving. Approximately four hundred years passed from the rise of Islam until the time of Makdisî died. in 390 hijri1000 A.D, and Islamic law continued to maintain its actuality. Makdisî released the work called Ahsenüt-Tekāsîm fî Maʿrifetil-Ekālîm in order to mention the places he visited as a geographer through the eyes of a traveler. The work is not only regarded as a geography or travel book, but there is a lot of information from Islamic sciences regarding fıqh, hadith and tafsir. Because Makdisî was particularly interested in fiqh and realized the actuality of fiqh, he did not neglect to provide sectarian i.e. Madhab information or concerns under each chapter. This also proves his knowledge in fıqh side and has revealed the most important example of interdisciplinary sciences. In this study, Makdisîs classification of sects, method and descendant approaches will be described and evaluated in terms of the Hanafi sect. Scholar from each sect generally deals with sect classifications on the basis of seventy-three sect hadiths. Makdisî, on the other hand, classifies them by using his own quadruple system in order to add originality to his work. The aim of this study is to determine the fiqh arguments used by Makdisî when combining fiqh and geography in his interdisciplinary work Islamic Geography. The scope of the study is to reveal the fiqh discourses recognized and applied by Makdisî. For this reason, fiqh issues are mentioned without giving geographical detail information. Methodologically, the work translated by Batur titled Islam Geography followed. Necessary corrections were made on some issues based on the Arabic work. Also, fiqh approaches have been identified by taking advantage of todays studies.

 Hukuk; örf, ahlak ve din gibi yapılar vasıtasıyla insan hayatını düzenleyen her türlü sosyoetik kurallar bütünüdür. İslâm hukuku ise, Peygamber sav zamanında temelleri atılıp sürekliliğini devam ettirerek, Müslümanların dünya ve ahiret görüşlerini düzenleyen ve aktüel kalabilen bir hukuk sistemidir. İslâmın doğuşundan Makdisînin ö. 3901000 zamanına kadar yaklaşık dört yüz yıl geçmiş olup, İslam hukuku aktüalitesini korumaya devam etmiştir. Makdisî, bir coğrafyacı olarak gezdiği yerleri seyyah gözüyle yazmak için Ahsenüt-Tekāsîm fî Maʿrifetil-Ekālîm adlı çalışmayı ortaya koymuştur. Eser, coğrafya ya da bir seyyah defteri olmanın da ötesine geçerek, içerisinde İslâm ilimlerden fıkıh, hadis, tefsir ve kıraat gibi alanlarda da birçok bilgi içermektedir. Makdisî, fıkha olan ilgisinden ve fıkhın aktüalitesini de göz ardı etmediğinden her bölüm altında mezhepsel bilgileri vermeyi ihmal etmemiştir. Bu yaklaşım onun, fıkıhçı yönünü göstermekte ve disiplinler arası ilimlerin en önemli örneğinin ortaya konulmasına da kaynaklık etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Makdisînin mezhepler tasnifi, usûl ve fürû yaklaşımları tespit edilerek Hanefî mezhebi açısından değerlendirilecektir. Mezhep tarihçileri, genel olarak mezhep tasniflerini yetmiş üç fırka hadisi ekseninde ele almaktadırlar. Makdisî ise, eserine özgünlük katmak amacıyla kendisine ait dörtlü sistemi kullanarak tasnif yapmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, interdisipliner çalışma olan İslâm Coğrafyası eserinde Makdisînin fıkıh ile coğrafyayı birleştirirken kullandığı fıkhî argümanların tespit edilmesidir. Fıkhî görüşlerin gerek Hanefî mezhebindeki konumu gerekse diğer mezheplerdeki durumu ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın kapsamı, Makdisînin gözlemlediği ve tercih ettiği fıkhî söylemleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu nedenle Coğrafyayı ilgilendiren kısımlarda bilgi verilmeden fıkıh konularına değinilmiştir. Yöntem olarak ise Baturun, İslâm Coğrafyası adı ile tercüme ettiği eser dikkate alınmıştır. Bazı konularda Arapça eser üzerinden gerekli düzeltmeler yapılmıştır. Ayrıca günümüz çalışmalarından da istifade edilerek, fıkhî yaklaşımlar tespit edilmiştir.
