Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was said to the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him): If a hadith is reported in matters of creed and is classified as hasan (good) according to the terminology of the hadith scholars, is it assumed that it has not reached the level of sahih (authentic)?
Answer:
The hasan hadith, according to the early scholars, falls under the category of sahih (authentic) among the early scholars, so it carries the ruling of a sahih (authentic) hadith.
