Please Comment on this. Jazakallahu Khairan, and I love your site. May Allah keep you all well. There is a difference between rejecting a narrative, considering it faulty, and deferring decisions about it till all pertinent questions that hinder its unqualified acceptance are answered. However, as we know that the narration of every reliable and honest person is not necessarily the truth.
Man is prone to errors of understanding as well as reporting.
An honest and reliable person is no less a subject to these errors, as compared to a dishonest person. This, obviously, implies that no addition or deletion in the main body of religion is made on the basis of Hadith alone. The reasons for these checks should be obvious from the foregoing explanation. I hope this helps. I am, therefore, in agreement with those who are of the opinion that no new element of faith can be added to the body of Islam on the basis merely of Hadith .
