IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-439: TASHIH HADITH MELALUI KASYAF
Is it permissible to authenticate a hadith through spiritual unveiling (kasyaf) or dreams?
Short answer
Assessing a hadith must follow the methodology of hadith scholars, which involves study of its transmission, its content and its chains of narration.

Summary
Assessing a hadith must follow the methodology of hadith scholars, which involves study of its transmission, its content and its chains of narration. Kasyaf or dreams cannot be used as a measure of a hadith's status because they do not go through this process. Claiming to authenticate or weaken a hadith by such means is considered false, as it would undermine the methods established by hadith scholars.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, kasyaf atau mimpi tidak boleh dijadikan ukuran dalam menentukan status sebuah hadith kerana ia tidak melalui proses-proses yang kami nyatakan di atas.
