Sciences of hadith

The sciences of Hadith are dedicated to studying the sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad to ensure their authenticity. Scholars examine how Hadiths were transmitted, verifying the credibility of the narrators and tracing the history of each report. This process, called “Ilm al-Hadith,” helps distinguish genuine teachings from fabrications, ensuring reliability. These sciences include methods to classify Hadiths into categories like authentic, weak, or fabricated. Overall, they safeguard the integrity of Islamic teachings by applying rigorous criteria to preserve the Prophet’s sayings accurately over time.
