Schools for studying Hadith and granting licenses to students still exist in several regions. In Qatar, assemblies for listening to Hadith books have also been held, attended by senior scholars with isnad (chains of transmission), who granted ijaza (permission to transmit) to those present. As for these asanid (chains of transmission) being free from unknown narrators (majhul), it is difficult to judge without reviewing and tracing them.
