The Ruling on Denying the Mass-Transmitted Hadiths Concerning the Pool, the Sirat, and the Scale

Question:
Honorable Shaykh. The hadiths concerning the pool of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are numerous and have reached the level of mass transmission (mutawatir). If a person denies the pool of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while being aware of these hadiths, does he become a disbeliever? The same applies to the Sirat, the scales, intercession, or other matters.

Answer:
Yes, the one who denies what is established by mass-transmitted evidence is a disbeliever and an apostate, because he is lying to Allah and His Messenger. Mass-transmitted reports provide certain knowledge, even according to the theologians and the Zahirites, who say that mass transmission provides knowledge and certainty. The one who denies what is mass-transmitted is angry with Allah the Exalted, like those who deny the vision of the believers of their Lord on the Day of Resurrection, and those who deny the punishment of the grave. This is mass-transmitted. And those who deny Paradise or Hell, or deny the Reckoning or the scales, or other such things, this is considered disbelief in Allah the Exalted. Does this mean he does not believe in the Last Day?
Belief in the Last Day includes everything established by authentic texts that occurs in the Last Day, from the time of death until the people of Paradise settle in Paradise and the people of the Fire settle in the Fire. Everything established by authentic hadiths falls under belief in the Last Day. And whoever denies any of what is established by authentic hadiths, then he does not believe in the Last Day, or his belief in the Last Day is incomplete.
