LessonsRejected Reports and Categories of Interrupted ChainsQuiz

Within this classification, munqati‘ describes an interruption not assigned to the more specific categories, such as two omissions in different places without consecutive deletion. A single missing intermediary in the middle also fits the narrower category.

Case 1: in “A ← B ← C ← D ← E,” B and D are independently omitted. Two names are absent, but not consecutively, so the mu‘dal criterion is not met.
Case 2: one middle intermediary is absent without a special beginning- or end-position classification.

Terminological caution: other hadith scholars use munqati‘ broadly for any broken chain. The intended sense depends on the technical classification being applied.
