In this video, learn about the impact of forged or weak hadiths. Dr. Shabir Ally explains that many of the controversies about Islam that arise today stem from these hadiths. He offers an example of hadiths which are graded authentic but contradict each other on basic #Islamic practices. He also offers an example of a hadith which is graded authentic but seems to contradict the #Quran. Host Dr. Safiyyah Ally asks Dr. Shabir Ally why scholars didn’t realize these hadiths were problematic, and how to avoid falling into the trap of judging hadiths based on our whims and desires.
