Interpolation( Arabic: ادراج Idraj( in the text of a hadith means mixing the words of the narrator with the words of the infallible (peace be upon him;Imam), which has long been a concern and preoccupation of Islamic jurists. Since even small changes in the text of a hadith may prevent the Islamic jurist from achieving the main intent of the infallible (peace be upon him) and lead to differences in legal rulings (Arabic: فتوا fatwa), examining the Islamic jurisprudential consequences of interpolation is of particular importance. After an introduction that addresses the issue, background, and the nature of interpolation this paper examines the Islamic jurisprudential consequences of Interpolation, such as causing anxiety, conflict among reports, differences in Islamic jurists' fatwas, ambiguity and changes in the meaning of the hadith. And it indicates that in the case of knowledge of interpolation(idraj(, this phenomenon prevents relying on the apparent initial meaning of the hadith. However, the possibility of interpolation(Idraj( does not hinder relying on its primary appearance, and this possibility is dismissed by the principle of Asalatu adh-Dhuhoor (Arabic:اصاله الظهور literal meaning: primacy of the apparent meaning). This research, utilizing a descriptive-analytical method, concludes that the methods of the Islamic jurists use for determining the authenticity of the hadith text involves examining different versions, forming a family of hadith(related narrations), content analysis and linguistic style analysis of the text, and referring to the opinions of scholars.
