What is the ruling on one who rejects Ahadith Ahad (solitary narrations), arguing that the Quran was established by Tawatur (consecutive narration) and that the Sunnah does not differ from the Quran in being a revelation, and by citing the Hanafi school's strict conditions for accepting Ahadith Ahad?

Denying khabar al-ahad (solitary report) entirely is a misguided and innovated statement, but its proponent is not ruled to be a disbeliever, unlike the denial of Sunnah Mutawatirah (mass-transmitted Sunnah). Tawatur (mass transmission) is a condition for establishing the Qur'anic nature of a word, not for thevalidity of using it as evidence. The Qur'an itself indicates the acceptance of a solitary report. The Hanafis do not reject ahad narrations wholesale; rather, they impose strict conditions for their acceptance and use as evidence. They may reject a report if it contradicts established principles or conflicts with a stronger narration.
