Quick fact: Hadith-e-Taqriri refers to some statement or acts of some of the companions of Prophet Muhammad SAW which were approved by the Prophet through his silence or tacit approval.

Explanation

Hadith is broadly classified into four types based on its nature: Hadith-e-Qauli (the sayings of the Prophet), Hadith-e-Fe'li (the actions of the Prophet), Hadith-e-Taqriri (tacit approval by the Prophet), and Hadith-e-Sifati (attributes of the Prophet). Hadith-e-Taqriri specifically refers to situations where a companion said or did something in the presence of the Prophet, and the Prophet remained silent or expressed approval, thereby validating that act or statement as permissible in Islam.

Good to know

The term "Taqriri" comes from the Arabic root "qarara," meaning to affirm or approve. In Hadith terminology, this type of Hadith holds significant legislative weight because the Prophet's silence in his capacity as a messenger is considered divine endorsement. An example includes the incident where Khalid bin Walid ate a lizard (dabb) in the Prophet's presence, and the Prophet did not forbid it, thus tacitly approving its consumption.
