The Importance of Hadith in the Life of a Muslim (2/3)

There are two types of Hadith. One is called Hadith Mutawatir which is reported by a huge number of narrators that their agreement to make it up is impossible. A person who rejects any one of those Ahaadith [Hadith Mutawatir], their Imaan becomes questionable. When a person rejects Hadith completely, then there is no Shariah left, he is basically making a mockery of Islam. It depends on individual injunctions of the Shariah, which injunction does the person reject, ridicule or negate. We have to differentiate between negation and ridicule. If he is negating, the injunction being negated has to be looked at. Sometimes negation of particular injunctions will result in disbelief and sometimes it will result in him being declared an innovator, a faasiq (hypocrite) or a faajir (a sinner). When a person mocks then there is no differentiation, you are mocking a Sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and your Imaan is at stake.
