Abstract

Understanding the intent of the speaker in any text, including Hadith, involves navigating through underlying assumptions and culminates in grasping the serious intent of the speaker. Theological beliefs are one of the most significant underlying assumptions that have a decisive impact on understanding the main intent of the Hadith speaker. On the other hand, among the various branches of Hadith studies, the field of "Fiqh al-Hadith" holds substantial importance. Theological beliefs have been a point of interest for researchers in the realm of Fiqh al-Hadith since ancient times. The present study aims to conceptualize the nature of this clue and the conditions under which it can be utilized in understanding Hadith. It is noteworthy that the use of theological beliefs in interpreting Hadith carries certain risks; if these risks are neglected, a methodical understanding of Hadith will not be achieved. Therefore, after examining the conditions for applying this clue in understanding Hadith, the associated drawbacks will also be addressed. The results indicated that by five specific conditions, theological beliefs can be cited as a connected non-verbal clue for understanding Hadith. Six significant drawbacks related to this sign have been identified and examined in this paper.
