When a Sahabi performed an action and the Holy Prophet (SAW) did not object, this type of Hadith is known as _____?

Explanation

Hadith is classified into three main types based on the nature of the Sunnah: Hadees-e-Qauli (verbal sayings of the Prophet), Hadees-e-Faili (actions performed by the Prophet), and Hadees-e-Taqriri (the Prophet's silent approval of an action done by a Sahabi in his presence or knowledge). The silence of the Prophet (SAW) constitutes his approval because if the action were wrong, he would have corrected it, as he could never remain silent upon falsehood.

Good to know

The term "Taqrir" literally means to affirm, approve, or confirm. Hadees-e-Taqriri is considered a valid source of Islamic law and is part of the Sunnah. An example is when the Prophet (SAW) approved of the Sahabah eating the meat of a lizard (dabb) by not eating it himself but also not forbidding them. Hadees-e-Mauquf, in contrast, refers to a narration that stops at a Sahabi and is not attributed to the Prophet (SAW).
