In his article, Wael Halaq talks about the different methods used by Muslim Scholars to judge

the authenticity of Hadith. While mentioning Al-Tawatur and Al Ahad’s mainstream methods, it
also mentions Al-Tawatur Al-Manawi's rather precarious category. A category in which the
probability theory is used to assess Hadith’s credibility. Although this approach would satisfy the
Western Scholars who raise questions to a large extent against Hadith authenticity (since
academia in the West has always been obsessed with real, logical evidence), isn’t this a little
unrealistic to judge the credibility of words as sacred as that of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)
solely on the basis of a theory that takes nothing but objective values into consideration. It
sounds like a rather ridiculous notion to convert the credibility of a narrator and assigning it a
value between that of 0 and 1. Isn’t there a possibility that this approach was only adopted by
Islamic scholars to conform with Western Academia’s notions of tangible proofs?
