Which statement best distinguishes a non-canonical reading from canonically transmitted Qurʾān?
The Four Proofs: Fiqh, Uṣūl al-Fiqh and Kalām
- Every reliably reported non-canonical reading becomes mutawātir Qurʾān
- They differ; a reliable transmission may still enter some legal argumentation
- A non-canonical reading can be considered only if it becomes canonical
- The legal authority of non-mutawātir readings is identical across schools
