Lloyd#18: Sahih, vs Hassan, vs Da'if Shariah rulings!

Go here to get Lloyd's material: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiyIXknJOnGXmnYB3UrXaHQ/community?lb=Ugkx5K9TZVCqaWNfHz-6RrGfd1mRmpohppsz Often Muslims claim that many of the most embarrassing Hadith and rules of Shariah law are not authoritative and viable today due to the fact that they were considered "Da'if", or 'weak' traditions. But is this the case? Lloyd tackles this supposition by returning to the 2 most prestigious seminaries in the Muslim world today, the one in Medina, Saudi Arabia, and the Al Azhar seminary in Cairo, Egypt. In both those locations they use the Tafsir (commentary) on the Hadith entitled "Fatḥ al-Bārī fī Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī" which is a multi-volume commentary on the Sunni hadith collection of Sahih al-Bukhari, composed by Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani Shafi. On page 11 of that document is states that similar to the Hadith, Islamic Shariah laws also have 3 gradations of importance, Sahih (which are considered perfect laws), Hassan (which are deemed of medium importance), and 'Da'if' (which are considered weak rulings). It grades the importance of accuracy for each of the three (and adds a fourth at the end) staging: 1) Sahih rulings are considered having 99% - 100% chance of being accurate 2) Hassan rulings are considered having 85% - 99% chance of being accurate 3) Da'if rulings are considered having 45% - 85% chance of being accurate 4) Fabricated Laws are considered having 0% - 45% of being accurate Yet, the document continues by stating that the weakest 'Da'if' can still be used and must not be discarded or removed because it is still from Muhammad and thus better than anything else produced by other men. So, how were these percentages decided, and who decided which rulings were Sahih, or Hassan, or Da'if? It turns out that, much like the Qira'at choices, these were decided by which rulings had the strongest set of names (known as Isnad), which means they are completely dependent on "oral tradition'. What's more, the list of Isnad which were considered the strongest were decided by which list had the largest number of people who passed them on. Thus, it had everything to do with popularity, and nothing to do with whether the rulings were good or not, or even whether they were relevant for then, or for now. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics - US, 2022 (67,650) Music: "Epic Heroic Conquest" by Musiclfiles, from filmmusic-io
