Is it true that a munqati' hadith is weaker than a mu'dal hadith?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the break in the chain, if it occurs in more than one place, is it a more severe defect than a mu'dal hadith? Why is that?
The Shaykh : It is more severe.
The questioner : A more severe defect than a mu'dal hadith, even though a mu'dal hadith is often, generally, the term for a mursal hadith involves the omission of... the omission of eight men. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : I do not know what you are saying, so ask someone else. In other words, I do not know that this is more severe. However, it will be weak in several places. It might escape the weakness in one place, leaving the second place. It might also escape in the second, leaving the third. But it is not more severely weak; it is weak.
The questioner : Because I saw in some of the doctoral books that it says it is a more severe defect.
The Shaykh : That is why I am telling you to ask someone else.
The Shaykh : It is more severe.
