Which type of knowledge in mutwatir Hadith

A. Speculative
B. Hypothetical
C. Certain
D. Limited
Correct Answer: C. Certain

The correct answer is Certain. Mutawatir Hadith (a hadith reported by a large number of narrators at every level) provides certain knowledge (Ilm al-Yaqeen). Because the narrators are so numerous that it is impossible for them all to agree on a lie, mutawatir hadiths are considered definitive and leave no room for doubt. They are accepted without question in matters of belief and practice. 'Speculative', 'Hypothetical', and 'Limited' are not correct because mutawatir hadiths are considered absolutely reliable. Therefore, Certain is the correct type of knowledge provided by mutawatir hadith.
