Aoa,
I have a question, as Quran instructs us to have atleast two witnesses for a financial matter, can using the same directive we approve mutwatir ahadees, which have atleast two persons narrating from the start in two different chains? or the two witnesses are necessary for worldly matters only and not for divine revelations or anything that is a part of God's infallible system?
What will be the status of such a mutwatir hadees? will it become binding on us if it gives us extra-quranic law or theology and what about mutwatir ahadees that have more than 2 persons from the start of isnad? Can they then become authoritative? I know, its authenticity will no doubt increase but will it become a binding on us?
Thanks in advance!
