Beyond Traditional Hadith Studies
HadithCritic is an academic platform that critically examines traditional Islamic “Sciences of Hadith” (ʿUlūm al-Ḥadīth) through interdisciplinary scholarly analysis. The blog applies philosophical critiques to expose how assessments of narrator honesty, precision, and piety rely on unverifiable subjective states. It uses textual criticism, historical research, and philosophical reasoning to question isnād-based methodology, offering a skeptical academic perspective that challenges mainstream assumptions of hadith authenticity.
