The analysis is based on liturgical analysis from various data sources that are considered valid, based on the conditions experienced by society today. The research methodology consists of a descriptive approach and a library approach. From the results of this study, it can be seen that the Hadith criticism method can be a reference for the community to verify whether the news received is whether there are additions (ziyādah), insertions (idrāj), reversals (iqlāb), or subtractions (nuqshān), and whether the substance is appropriate with reality or not.
