 CCRETIVE CONSTRUCTIONISM AND ORALITY IN ISLAMIC LAW
Despite the refined definitions and guidelines for the determination of naskh cases, both schools of thought agree that the power of násikh traditions lays in the fact that it is an acoustic one.
Naskh therefore, has become a valuable means not only for reconciling texts that appear conflicting, but most importantly for manipulating legal sources to be in full agreement with the general ideological guidelines of schools of thought that were increasingly becoming predictable and systematic.
As naskh was established as an independent science within the core of Islamic legal studies, it was incorporated and confused with a number of legitimate legal concerns namely supersession and precedent.

 The American Muslim (TAM)
The position taken by all the modern scholars whom I have met, or listened to, or whose works I have read, is contrary to the understanding of naskh that became so widespread among the later exegetes, namely that there exists naskh (if accepted) as meaning the abrogation of verses of the Qur’an.
Once the concept of naskh was given sanction from the Qur’an and hadith, the jurists started categorizing the different types of abrogation.
It is obligatory upon the governing authority to have that man brought to the courts and ask that he retract his statements, and to rule upon him according to that which the pure Shari’ah summons” (ibn Baz, 1995:44).

 Naskh (exegesis) - Sean Hannity Discussion
Almost all classical naskh works, for instance, open by recounting the incident of the Kufan preacher banned from expounding the Qur'ān by an early 'ilmic authority figure (usually 'Alī but sometimes also Ibn 'Abbās) on account of his ignorance of the principles of naskh (Rippin, BSOAS 47, pp.
Mālik admitted this principle, but Shāfi'ī denied it, although the fuqahā all admit, in the instance of the penalty for adultery, that the flogging element of Q.24:2 has been allowed to lapse in the case of those offenders who are condemned to death by stoning.
Naskh stimulated several lines of theologizing to reconcile this "reality of the fiqh" with Islam's core religious doctrines.
