What is the ruling on one who denies a hadith from the hadiths mentioned in Al-Bukhari?
If the conditions for the authenticity of a hadith are met, it is obligatory to accept it. This is even more so if it is in the Two Sahihs (Bukhari and Muslim) or one of them, as the Ummah has accepted them. To deny them is an innovation and a misguidance. One who denies an authentic hadith established in the Two Sahihs is not considered a disbeliever unless they believed in its authenticity and correct attribution and then denied it. There are a few hadiths in Sahih al-Bukhari that do not meet his own conditions, and some hadith masters have criticized them. The rejection of these hadiths by scholars is considered a scholarly disagreement that can be debated and responded to academically.
