The Ruling on Criticizing Authentic Prophetic Hadiths, Such as the Hadith of Camel Urine and the Drowning of the Fly

Question:
He says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, recently people have started speaking about authentic Prophetic hadiths, such as the hadith of camel urine and the drowning of the fly, and they are not qualified to do so. What is the ruling on this action, and what is your advice regarding this matter?

Answer:
This is the statement of the people of misguidance, such as the Mu'tazilah and others, and the rationalists who say, "We do not believe except in what our minds approve of, and what our minds do not approve of, we deny." These people do not believe in the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The one who believes in the Messenger believes in everything he said (peace and blessings be upon him). The meaning of "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" is obedience to him in what he commanded, belief in what he reported, avoiding what he prohibited and warned against, and not worshipping Allah except with what He has prescribed. This is the meaning of the testimony that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. So the one who denies an authentic hadith from the Messenger of Allah and says, "This does not agree with my mind," has invalidated his testimony that he is the Messenger of Allah. We ask Allah for safety. If he did it intentionally, he becomes a disbeliever because of it. If he was ignorant or following a scholar without knowledge, this is explained to him, and the misguidance of this statement is explained to him. If he repents, otherwise his ruling becomes the ruling of the one who denied the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
