Hanafi Principles of Testing Hadith

About The Books:

Hadith is one of the main sources of religion in Islamic tradition. There are many hadiths, but are they all accepted? If not, then which ones are rejected? The principles of what to do with hadith (Mustalah) were set up by two of the four major orthodox schools of thought, the Hanafis and Shafis.

During the last eight hundred years, the Shafi principles of hadith (Mustalah) have become much more famous, to the point that it was adopted by prevalent Hanafis. In recent times nearly all institutes are teaching the Shafi principles of hadith. This has resulted in confusion for the Hanafis as the principles of hadith they were learning, were not matching the resultant jurisprudence of the Hanafis.

This book “Hanafi Principles of Testing Hadith” is recommended for all readers who interact with hadith. If you are one of those who have read the many hadith and are left confused due to the content because the hadith defies logic or it clashes with the setup principles of the religion then this is a “must-read” for you.

It is the first book, which contains the Hanafi principles of Hadith, with its English translation and a brief commentary all contained in one manual.

The founders of Avicenna Academy: Shaykh Atabek Nasafi and Shaykh Sulaiman Ahmed have written a book, but more specifically we could say a manual, targeting the very important questions in the minds of many students of knowledge and average Muslims on the topic of Hadith.
