The Islamic Methodology in Scrutiny and Validation (Al-Jarh wal-Ta'dil). The science of Al-Jarh wal-Ta'dil is a field that investigates the criticism (jarh) and validation (ta'dil) of hadith narrators using specific terminology and their respective ranks. It is a branch of hadith studies that examines the conditions of hadith narrators in terms of their meeting the criteria for the acceptance of their narrations. It has also been defined as a science established to diagnose hadith narrators in terms of their identity, characteristics, praise, and criticism. Additionally, it is a science that studies the biographies of the narrators of the Prophet's hadiths to judge their chain of transmission (sanad) as authentic (sahih), good (hasan), weak (da'if), or fabricated (mawdu').
