A mere translation of a Hadith is never sufficient for thorough understanding and practice of sunnah. Here are 7 steps our scholars suggest to better interact with hadith, explained by Ustaz Taufiq RNB.
1. Understand hadith in light of Quran
2. Gathering all relevant hadith on a subject matter
3. Contradiction: reconciliation and preference
4. Identifiying spirit/intent of hadith
5. Changeable means and stable ends
6. Speech: literal, figurative, hyperbolic
7. Lexical meanings
