On the Integrated Approach to the Determination of Hadith

Abstract

Aim of this article is to analysing the book of The Integrative Approach to the Confirmation of Hadith written by Mehmet Apaydin who offers a new system. His approach differs from classical.adith science by ignoring the jarh and ta'dil and taking liar narrators into consideration. It decides that a.adith is sound or weak at the end of the fiction he formated by considering isnad and scientific data. On the other hand, althouhgh Apaydin accepts that science of hadith achieved a tremendous role in the history, he argues that this system has no longer been sufficient to solve the problems relating the the narrations and he tries to show problems of science of.adith in a chapter. In this article, I shell put the deficiencies to set forth a fiction, stemming from liar narrators, which were introduced to system by the author and the problems of the single narrations. I also shell study the two terms, "remain neutral" and "cautious confidence "which were corner stones for the system, whether or not they could seperate the sound.adith from the fabricated one.
