Concerning the Hadeeth ''Every Important Matter''
Question:
To what degree is this Hadeeth authentic: "Every important matter that does not begin by Allaah's name is cut off, mutilated."
Answer:
Ibn Hibban and others have narrated this Hadeeth through two or more different chains. Some scholars of Hadeeth have ruled that it is weak , while what appears to be more correct is that its level is Hasan due to other supporting narrations. And Allaah is the facilitation to do what is right.
