THE FORMAL AND MATERIAL OBJECTS OF REGIONAL HADITH STUDIES: A CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL STUDY
Keywords:
Study of hadith, regions, formal objects, material objectsAbstract
This article examines the concept of Regional Hadith Studies as a model of hadith research that has emerged within contemporary scholarly discourse, focusing on its definition, historical origins, and epistemological framework through its formal and material objects. Hadith studies have hitherto been dominated by a normative-transmissional approach that centres on the validity of the isnad and the credibility of the narrators, meaning that the geographical dimensions and socio-intellectual context of the hadith transmission process have received relatively little attention. This article argues that Regional Hadith Studies serves to fill this gap by offering an integrative perspective that combines historical, sociological, and geographical approaches within a single analytical framework. Through a literature review of the works of Novrizal Wendry and related literature, this article demonstrates that although the practice of grouping hadiths by region has been carried out since the classical era, as seen in the Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal and the inventory compiled by ar-Ramahurmuzi, its conceptual and methodological systematisation has only recently been seriously pursued in contemporary scholarship. As a model of scientific research, Regional Hadith Studies necessitates synergy between material objects encompassing hadith literature, networks of narrators, scholarly institutions, and the socio-cultural context of a region, and formal objects including synchronic and diachronic approaches as analytical tools. The integration of these two aspects means that hadith is no longer understood merely as a static theological text, but rather as a dynamic intellectual phenomenon closely tied to the geographical and social spaces in which it developed.
