Abstract: Taqwiyah al-Hadith is part of the process of tashīh (authentication) and taḍʿīf (weakening) of hadiths attributed to the Prophet (PBUH).The efforts of tashīh and taḍʿīf were also undertaken by the contemporary hadith scholar, Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī.However, al-Albānī is often regarded as a figure categorized as mutasāhil (lenient) in applying taqwiyah al-hadith.Hence, this study was conducted to examine the extent of al-Albānī's manhaj (methodology) of taqwiyah al-hadith through the presence of shawāhid and mutābaʿāt.To achieve this objective, a qualitative study was carried out through content analysis of his work entitled Silsilah al-Aḥādīth al-Ṣaḥīḥah.In addition, data collection was also conducted through an extensive literature review.The data obtained were then analyzed using inductive and deductive methods.The findings of the study indicate that al-Albānī is in line with other hadith scholars who apply the manhaj taqwiyah al-hadith through shawāhid and mutābaʿāt within the discipline of hadith strengthening.Furthermore, the study shows that al-Albānī developed his own distinctive approach, whereby he did not simply authenticate a hadith merely due to the presence of multiple ṭuruq (chains of transmission).Instead, he first examined the reliability of each individual narration before employing it for taqwiyah.
