Abstract

This article explores how scholars of the Islamic legal schools (madhhabs) 
and the muhaddithun classified hadith, analyzing the conceptual foundations and criteria 
that underpinned their respective systems of classification. It examines key categories 
such as mutawatir and ahad reports, as well as the gradations of authenticity sahih, 
hasan, and daʿif highlighting the methodological nuances in their evaluation. The study 
further investigates the distinctive approaches adopted by jurists (fuqahaʾ) and hadith 
specialists in utilizing hadith as a source of legal and doctrinal authority, with particular 
attention to the acceptance of solitary reports, the role of contextual indicators (qaraʾin), 
and the reconciliation of apparently conflicting narrations. By offering a comparative 
analysis, the article demonstrates both the areas of convergence and divergence between 
these scholarly traditions, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding 
of hadith epistemology and its application in Islamic legal theory.
