Authenticity of Saheeh Bukhaari and Saheeh Muslim

· 19 Safar 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can we believe that Saheeh Muslim and Saheeh Bukhaari are 100% reliable or do they have some mistakes?

Answer

You should believe that they are absolutely reliable. However, every person is not in the position of interpreting and understanding these kitaabs correctly. It is not right for people to directly go into Bukhaari Shareef etc. and arrive at their own deductions.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
