Summary
A Muttasil hadith is one in which every narrator heard from his teacher and the chain of transmission is unbroken. According to al-Baiquniy it applies only to Marfu' hadith, while Ibn Solah also includes Mawquf hadith. A Muttasil Marfu' hadith is accepted if its narrators have no defects, while the ruling on a Muttasil Mawquf hadith depends on whether it reflects a companion's own ijtihad or a matter beyond ijtihad such as the unseen.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
