Question
According to the Hanafis, there are rules they apply when dealing with hadiths, such as the fact that the mursal hadith is considered valid under certain conditions. Do we apply the hadith rules of the Hanafis to all hadiths, including rulings and those related to virtues? For example, if a mursal hadith is reported regarding a certain virtue, do we consider that hadith to be authentic or weak, in accordance with the rules of hadith scholars?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The Hanafi rules are applied in the verification of hadith in the hadiths of rulings and others, and God knows best.
