Summary
A Munqathi' hadith is one whose chain of narration is not continuous because a narrator is missing. Scholars differ on its precise definition, one view being the omission of a narrator before the Companion, as chosen by Ibn Solah. It differs from Maqthu', which is a break in the text itself. Its ruling is weak (dhaif) because it fails the condition of a connected chain and the status of the missing narrator is unknown.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya adalah dhaif kerana ia tidak menepati syarat pertama dalam Hadith Sahih iaitu bersambung sanadnya dan dalam masa yang sama kita tidak mengetahui akan keadaan perawi yang gugur itu.
