Summary
A mursal hadith is one whose chain omits the Companion, so a Tabi'i narrates directly from the Prophet SAW, whether the Tabi'i is senior or junior. Scholars differ on its ruling: some accept it as proof without condition, some reject it, and Imam al-Shafi'i accepts it under conditions relating to the narrator and the narration. The conclusion of this ruling is that a mursal hadith is weak because its chain is broken.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith Mursal ini hukumnya adalah dhaif kerana sanadnya terputus dan ini merupakan pendapat ahli hadith seperti Imam Muslim.
