A scientific committee from the Department of Prophetic Sunnah and Its Sciences has approved two research proposals. The first was prepared by researcher "Ibrahim Mustafa Shtima" to study "The Differences in the Statements of Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajar between His Works 'Taqreeb al-Tahtheeb' and 'Takhlees al-Habeer' in Weakening Narrators of Hadith." The second was prepared by researcher "Ameer Adeeb Mohammed Allaf" to study "The Methodology of Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha bint al-Siddiq - may Allah be pleased with her - in Her Critiques of the Companions, Both Narratively and Analytically."
