A Response to Those Who Say That Hadiths Should Be Removed from Sahih al-Bukhari

Question:
May Allah keep you safe. This questioner asks: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, of those who say that there are hadiths that should be removed from Sahih al-Bukhari?

Answer:
Such a person does not know Sahih al-Bukhari, and it holds no value in his eyes. Otherwise, if he had known his own standing, he would not have spoken such words. He spoke about Sahih al-Bukhari—who are you to speak about Sahih al-Bukhari, which the Muslim community has agreed to accept, and which is the most authentic book after the Book of Allah the Exalted? It is as if someone comes along, either a misguided person with evil thoughts, or an ignorant person who is not misguided but is ignorant, and speaks of what he does not know. It is not permissible to criticize Sahih al-Bukhari, nor any other book of hadith, without knowledge.
A person speaks without knowledge, or he transmits the words of someone whose reliability he does not know, saying, "So-and-so says such and such." Do not transmit people's words when you do not know them. Leave people's words to their own responsibility. Do not transmit them yourself and bear the sin. Yes.
