Some missionaries of other faith sometimes attack by using these problematic hadiths.

The most religious critical thinker of all times according to me

As a doctor and a surgeon, it would be impossible for me to practice medicine and surgery without ignoring some hadith. For example, I do not subscribe to the hadith from "Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith (Hadith 1796) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no hamah, no infection and no evil omen; if there is in anything an evil omen, it is a house, a horse, and a woman. " There are many versions of this hadith from Bukhari. (There are many other problems with this hadith which I will not discuss here). What is against my principle as a doctor is the part regarding '"no infection" i.e. disease are not contagious. Of course, there other hadiths which suggests that the prophet believes that leprosy and plague are contagious. Also, there are modern day apologists who tries to soften the prophets stance by adding in parenthesis "(no contagious disease is conveyed without Allah's permission)". This is also problematic. For us who follow the scientific method, we believe that when Allah created His creation, He also give them their fitrah. We believe ,that micro-organisms can give rise to infection and the infection spreads. All modern doctors including myself included, that this is highly probable and we fashion our practice of aseptic technique, isolation, vaccination and use of antibiotics around this belief. So it does come to my mind, "Am I guilty of not following the teachings of the prophet?" But another hadith that I learned as a fourteen year old saved me. There are three versions of this hadith from Muslim regarding cross-pollination of date flowers {mistranslated in this version below as grafting). The hadith reads: Sahih Muslim Hadith - 1099 Narrated Talhah ibn Ubaydullah I and Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) happened to pass by people near the date-palm trees. He (the Prophet) said: What are these people doing? They said: They are grafting, i.e. they combine the male with the female (tree) and thus they yield more fruit. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: I do not find it to be of any use. The people were informed about it and they abandoned this practice. Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) (was later) on informed (that the yield had dwindled), whereupon he said: If there is any use of it, then they should do it, for it was just a personal opinion of mine, and do not go after my personal opinion, but when I say to you anything on behalf of Allah, then do accept it, for I do not attribute lie to Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. With this hadith I can practice scientific medicine without guilt. I believe that many things said by the prophet are his personal opinion and unlike so many people who believe that the hadith are also revelations from Allah. Therefore I do not prescribe blood-letting/cupping (Shartati mihjam), no drinking camel urine no ajwa as part of my treatment. I wish many more people know about this hadith. I suspect it is purposefully hidden. I also know some who claim that the parts of it are false additions.

Assalamu aleikum Dr Shabir ally. I really love this show. You inspire me. Am from Niger republic, but currently am abroad. I have been watching your show for quite long time. Recently i came across one of

There are some Hadith I just can't believe are from the Prophet, even though their isnad is supposed to be good. But some people equate what the Prophet said with divine revelation, because Allah said we should do as the Prophet does. This is how they justify child marriage, which we now know is not good for the child. I am not of that mindset, just because of what you are talking about today. They also say that everything in the Hadith is for all time, when, to me, that is just not so. So many things said by the Prophet only applied to circumstances his Ummah was facing at that time. Some of the things can be applied to our present circumstances even though times have changed. Some can't.

Only 353 likes so far says a lot about how we are not able to recognize wisdom. Baraka Allah fik Dr Ally you answer a lot of the questions that tormented my life.

I respect your critical analysis of the hadith and bravery to present what any reasonable prudent person would conclude after reading these hadiths. However, I am sure you will recieve backlash from the muslim dogmatic orthodoxy and orthopraxy. Nevertheless, I appreciate your content and opinion. Remember, you still wear the best kufis in the game, :) .

Thank You! 🌺

The hanafi madhab has been hijacked by others its the most rational Madhab keep it up

EXCELLENT

Thank you😍

Salam What people will say just to keep their certificates

So close to conekting the dots, but If your social standing and even safty is at risk i gues its hard

good

So in what Hadiths after Allah and His verses will you believe? -Quran 45:6

We are assuming that the prophet was the messenger of God. Danger is that we may risk removing hadiths that may be attributable to the prophet because they are not factually true.

Thanks. This clarifies that even sahih hadith is not all sahih, it contain errors and it is up to you to believe which parts are true. Humans have the responsibility to think and decide which parts of the hadith are reasonable and morally good to follow. Drinking poison after eating 7 certain dates to follow a hadith is clearly a fatal stupidity.

what is the ruling on smoking cigarettes, cigars or hookah ? Is there a difference between the 3 of them?

Assalamu aleikum Dr Shabir Ally. I really love this show. You inspire me. Am from Niger republic, but currently am abroad. I have been watching your show for quite long time. Recently i came across one of your videos, on jinn. In that video You basically said you dont believe in exorcism since it is not mentioned in the qur'an. Honnestly, as a fan of you i felt uncomfortable because exorcism is real. The prophet s.a.w used to perform it on his grandsons and other people possessed by the jinn as well. He ( prophet) even showed us in authentic hadiths how to do exorcism by reciting ayats from al Qur'an. My question is, can you explain why you dont believe in exorcism ? Or can you clarify your position on exorcism ? Thanks, look forward for an answer on your show. Nassir Halil

Jkr sheikh. Are you saying that we can accept or reject hadeeth based on weather it is believable or not?

Aslamolikum, I've mentioned before how dr shabbir is an inspiration for me but I dont agree with his stance towards ahadith. May Allah help us all.

Please don’t interrupt Shahir Ali while he’s talking with your questions.its annoying viewers please ask him at the end of his talk.

I hoped to hear something about Carmel urine. But alas.... And zam zam water

Its d lady for me though. is she taken? Well tbh, he's 100% right but thankfully his thoughts and believes align with the sunnah of d Prophet. one thing we most always remember is that even d companions of the Prophet are fellow humans, so that means they are bound to commit mistakes which in time we'll discover with facts and good intuition and intentions and if we do so, they as our predicessors have objectively thought us to discard any mistake or err that they commit... Alhamdulillahi. thank u for this

Bismillahir rahmaanir Rahiim! Why hadith is problematic when forbidden even to Prophet Muhammad pbuh in Quran 69:44-46. It is the cause why the One Ummah was divided into sects also forbidden in Quran 30:32; 42:14-15; 43:64-65; 45:17, 28. Please do not mislead the Ummah of your lack of understanding of the Quran or you will be a candidate to Hellfire. Masha'allah! Subhanallah! Alhamdulillah! Allahu'akbar!

I WOULD BE SO THANKFUL TO Dr. Shabir if he would enlighten me on the Seventh Day Adventist "remnant" church & Ellen G White's teachings. Asking for help from Allah. He is All Knowin & Wise. Inshallah. Humdillah.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Prophet Mohammed could have said those things (not a divine revelation) we have to remember that was a time of ignorance. I don’t think he said them.

Hadith is not a scripture or the Scripture of Islam. Qur'aan is THE Scripture of Islam. Qur'aan is the authority and is obligatory on all Muslims. Hadith is just a collection of tales, stories and unsubstantiated narrations collected by men from Central Asia. Those men never sat in the company of the Prophet or his companions or even in the company of their grand children. Many of the ahaadith are ridiculous and absurd. They do not stand correct under the scrutiny of Qur'aan. Any hadith that does not stand correct under the scrutiny of Qur'aan should be discarded and trashed. Instead of Hadith, Muslims should read, study and understand Qur'aan.

Islam is called the perfect religion. Islam consists of Quran and Hadith. But if hadith is a broken element of the religion how can Islam as a religion still be called perfect?

What is the real name of Hinduism? Here is the shocking truth. Hinduism is not the name of this discremetory religion "Brahmanism." There is no such thing as Hinduism. The word Hinduism is not found in any of the Brahmanic scriptures, such as the Vedas, the Puranas, the Upnishades, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Bhagwada Gita etc. This Brahmanic ideology's real name was/is "Varna-Shrama-Dharma" . Varna means "color". This means, the Aryans were a fair-skinned colored people. "Shrama" means, labour /work . "Dharma" means, the duties, and the social norms given by the Brahmins to the working classes (ie, castes) people of the Aryan race, namly the Kshatriyas, the Vayasias, and the Sudras. And the Brahmin stands at the apex of the societal pyramid and reserves all the power, privileges, benefits, and all the freedoms. Thus, the full definition of Varnashrama Dharma is, " the duties & the social norms given to fair-skinned Aryan working castes by the Brahmins." this forms the basis of "the Bramanical Social Order." The Mulnivasi Bahujans were outside this social order; therefore, they were called the "out-castes," the "mlechhas" (ie., outsiders). During medieval times when the Brahmin Shankra Charya was arguing and fighting the Buddhists, he changed the name "Varnashrama Dharma" to "Sanatana Dharma" meaning "ancient religion". The Brahmins wanted to hide the "racial & casteist" nature of Varnashrama Dharma, due to widespread positive influence of Buddhism. Brahmins, as a counter strategy, started to taunt and criticize the Buddhists by calling their religion "a new, and a heterodox (rebellious) religion; " whereas, calling the bramanical religion as the ancient and the pure one. Why we Muslims should concern ourselves with this above mentioned issue? These here are the reasons: 1: The threat of "Home Coming" ie., "ghar vapasi" that is, forcible conversion of the Muslims to Hinduism is real. 2: the Muslims have been turned into 6th rate citizens, even lower than the Dalits Untouchablees according to the Sachar Committee report. 3: since 1948 the Brahmins killed Muslims in the genocidal kilings, which they termed as "Hindu-Muslim" riots. In fact, these were not riots, but they were well planned genocidal mass murders by the Brahmins, and they amount to 65000 riots since 1948 to this day. The cost of lives, families, limbs, and the properties of the Muslims destroyed by the Brahmins amount to kharabs and kharabs of rupees. The killings of the Muslims and discrimination against them still continues. Jay Buddha, Jay Muhammad

finally a scholar being honest. Hope muslims wake up soon.

shabir ally has some serious flaws in his knowledge of Hadith. he said some Sahih / Hasan Hadith are not workable but did not give any example of this. Very rudimentary knowledge of science of Hadith and he has the audacity to opine on the subject. Don't talk about the subject if you are clearly not a Muhaddith and an expert in this field. Only misleading and confusing people.

problematic ,questionable !!!!! based on what ? science ? human knowledge ? judging Hadith based on science ??? then you are siting here to ,rewrite islam .May Allah protect us .

I stopped watching Dr Shabbirs talks. He is doing more harm outing his opinions to the general public by confusing them by dumbing down the science of Hadith and labelling authentic Hadiths problematic. He clearly has problems with Hadiths that deal with the metaphisical. He clearly hasn't seen the affect of black cumin seed oil or pure honey, or senna has when treated on patients afflicted by jinns, for example. I haven't heard him say but he probably will also discount Hadiths that narrated a snake bite patient being completely cured when surah fateha was recited on the wound by a sahabi.
