Summary
In this article a hadith scholar is one who is skilled in the branches of hadith science and works with hadith, such as checking its status and tracing its sources. The main duty is to verify the authenticity of the chain of narration and the text, and the attribution of a hadith to its narrator. For the chain, the scholar examines whether narrators met and whether each narrator's reports are acceptable or rejected. For the text, the scholar ensures it is free from additions or narrator error. Deriving rulings from hadith belongs to the jurist, although one person may be both.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Antara tugas utama ahli hadis ialah mengenalpasti akan kesahihan sanad atau matan dan juga kesahihan penisbahan sesuatu hadis itu kepada perawi yang dinisbahkan itu.
