What do the classical scholars have to say about Khabar-ul-Ahad in contrast to tawatur?

Fatwa 1850English
Beliefs and Practices (Aqeedah)

Question

Alhamdulillah, we place our trust in these Ahad narrations, but are they to be taken into Aqeedah like Mutwattir narrations? What is the consensus of opiniion of the Ahlal-Sunna-Wul-Jammah? Jazak Allah Khairun.

Answer

Generally, Aqeedah are supported by Mutawaatir narrations, not Ahad Hadith.
