Master Class on Hadith Criticism | Khaled Abou El Fadl | Usuli Excerpts

In this excerpt from the Surah 4: Al Nisa’ (Day 4) Project Illumine Halaqa at the Usuli Institute (www.usuli.org), Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl comments on verse 32 in the chapter, while discussing the true nature of a hadith in relation to the contemporaneous context, as well as how it relates to this verse and beyond. The Shaykh discusses just why taking the science of transmission without scrutiny of thought is dangerous.

Listen as Dr. Abou El Fadl lectures on gender relations in Islam, 'the beating verse’, and Umayyad state propaganda in the context of hadith criticism. Watch the full Halaqa on Surah Al Nisa' for more, in our Project Illumine playlist.
