Is the ruling in this āyah abrogated by the permission to marry Jewish and Christian women (5:5)?

Cevap

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:

  1. Those who held that the verse refers specifically to idol-worshipping women maintained that it remains in effect. Some who supported this view argued that the Jews and Christians are not considered polytheists even though they reject the prophethood of our Prophet.
  2. As for those who believe the verse is general and includes all types of polytheists, they have two views:

2a. Some of its ruling has been abrogated by the verse, "And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you" (5:5), while its ruling concerning other than the People of the Book remains in effect. 2b. This is a case of exception and specification, not abrogation. The wording here includes all polytheist women (including People of the Book)*, but an exception has been made giving permission to marrying certain types of disbelieving women in a specific evidence, which is the verse "And [lawful in marriage are] free women from among those who were given the Scripture before you" (5:5). [Majority of jurists, similar from Companions including ʿUthmān, Ṭalḥah, Ḥudhayfah, Jābir, Ibn ʿAbbās]

*They are counted among polytheists since they said, "Ezra is the son of God," and "the Messiah is the son of God." Or their disbelief in Muḥammad ﷺ necessitates saying that what he brought is not from God, and attributing it to something other than God is polytheism. [Ibn al-Jawzī's teacher, ʿAlī ibn ʿUbayd Allāh]
