Concerning the Hadeeth ''Every Important Matter''
Question:

To what degree is this Hadeeth authentic: كل أمر ذي بال لا يبدأ ببسم الله فهو أبتر، أقطع، أجذم "Every important matter that does not begin by Allaah's name is cut off, mutilated."
Answer:

Ibn Hibban[1] and others[2] have narrated this Hadeeth through two or more different chains. Some scholars of Hadeeth have ruled that it is weak[3], while what appears to be more correct is that its level is Hasan due to other supporting narrations. And Allaah is the facilitation to do what is right.
