And the correct opinion is: not every narrator of ḥadīth accused of kufr (disbelief), due to some innovation, is to be rejected. والتحقيقُ أنه لا يُرَدُّ كُلُّ مُكَفَّرٍ ببدعةٍ؛
The reason is because each faction claims that his opposition is an innovator. لأَنَّ كلَّ طائفةٍ تدَّعي أَنَّ مخالِفيها مبتدعةٌ،
Some even go to extremes when making takfīr on their opposition. وقد تُبالغ فتكفِّر مخالفها،
Therefore, if we were to apply this rule unconditionally, it would necessitate that takfīr be made on each and every opposing faction! فلو أُخِذَ ذلك على الإِطلاقِ لاسْتَلْزَمَ تكفيرَ جميعِ الطوائفِ.
The relied upon opinion is: those narrations that are rejected are those whose narrators reject what is mutawātir in religion (something firmly established in Sharīʿah through mass transmission) and well-known to be maʿlūm bid-ḍarūrah (ie: an undoubtedly integral part of religion), and likewise those who believe in what contradicts that. فالمعتمد أن الذي تُرَدُّ روايته مَن أَنكر أَمراً مُتواتِراً مِن الشَّرعِ معلوماً مِن الدِّينِ بالضَّرورةِ، وكذا مَن اعتقدَ عكسَهُ،
As for those who are not of that nature (ie: they do not reject what is firmly established or reject an integral part of religion etc.) and they are accurate in what they narrate, scrupulous and possess waraʿ then there is no prohibition from accepting their narrations. فأَمَّا مَن لم يَكُنْ بهذهِ الصِّفَةِ وانْضَمَّ إِلى ذلك ضَبْطُهُ لِما يَرويهِ، مَعَ وَرَعِهِ وتقواه، فلا مانع مِن قبوله.
