What breaks Wudu exactly? (Quran references only)
I've been doing some research on what would break or nullify Wudu, but the answers never have references to the Quran. In what ayah(s) does it state what breaks Wudu? The reply I am looking for would only consist of Quran references; please refrain from answers that rely on hadiths or third-party ex...

Does the idea of praying 5 times a day come from the Qur'an?
One of my maternal uncles argued that, since the Qur'an does not explicitly say anything about praying 5 times a day, it may be considered as optional/less important. What argument can I place against his view? As the argument is coming from a Qur'an-only perspective, I am particularly interested in...

What argument can I place against his view? As the argument is coming from a Qur'an-only perspective, I am particularly interested in arguments that don't rely on hadiths.

What kinds of sin does hadith rejection lead to (if any)?
It is accepted that not all ahadith are authentic. One example is: https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/22909/17163 It is sensible, therefore, to reject some ahadith. Some Muslims go so far as to reject all ahadith, e.g.: > [Quranism][1] describes any form of Islam that accepts the Quran as revelation,...
It is accepted that not all ahadith are authentic. One example is: https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/22909/17163 It is sensible, therefore, to reject some ahadith. Some Muslims go so far as to reject all ahadith, e.g.:
> Quranism describes any form of Islam that accepts the Quran as revelation, but rejects the religious authority, and or authenticity of the Hadith collections.
This is a controversial stance in Islam, and thus far, I've only encountered scholars advising strongly against hadith rejection (although the Wikipedia page lists a few notable Quranists).
**Question**: What kinds of sin does hadith rejection lead to (if any)?
----
Among other criticisms, scholars claim that rejecting hadith can lead to sin:
> Whoever... persists in denying and rejecting the hadiths is exposing himself to grave danger, because it is not permissible for a Muslim to reach a conclusion that is not based on proper methodology and without following any guidelines, and criticise other scholars (who disagree with him), **otherwise he may fall into sin and error**. -- Islam Q&A, article 115125
Islam Q&A asserts (a) those who reject ahadith they believe are sound are committing disbelief, (b) those who reject ahadith they believe are unsound are mistaken.
> Those who reject the Sunnah as incontestable proof and accept only the Quran go against the collective consensus of the Muslim community at large, and this **consists in extreme misguidance and deviation on their part**. -- Islam Web, fatwa 284470
Islam Web questions "how those who reject the Sunnah would worship Allaah; the Quran does not provide a detailed description of or the conditions for the prayer, Zakaah or other religious rituals, for instance."
(https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/30537/17163 provides other examples.)
It may be that the authors of the above fatawa are primarily thinking of disbelief. However, presumably Quranists don't think of themselves as disbelievers (and no matter who you are, you'll be accused of being a disbeliever by somebody).
I'm trying to pinpoint some specific sins that hadith rejection would lead to---sins that are accepted by scholars as sins, but nevertheless are engaged in by those who reject ahadith because they reject ahadith. Are there any?
I could conceive of arrogance being one such sin, rejecting a major component of Islam despite being accepted by virtually all scholars throughout Islamic history. Although, the logic here goes the other way: arrogance would lead to hadith rejection, not the other way around.

Evidence for the return of Jesus from the Quran
I'm aware that hadith mention Jesus's return to earth in the end-times. However is there any evidence for this in the Quran?

As I believe only in Quran & not the Hadiths, is music Halal for me?

I don't believe in Hadiths because they were written 200 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). I only believe in Allah and Allah's book the Quran.
So my question is as there is not a direct verse in Quran which tells music is haraam, I know verses of surah luqman in which Allah says idle talk but everything that is haram Allah clearly mentions in Quran by their name example alcohol , gambling etc all these things are haraam clearly mentioned the name but not for music.
Allah says in the Quran that Allah has no shortage of words if Allah wants to make music haraam Allah can clearly mentioned the word music
**Can anyone help me with my question?**
**NOTE: PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THOSE HADITHS SOURCES AS I ALREADY MENTIONED I DON'T BELIEVE IN THEM**

I'm looking for Sunni view. Please mention if Shia view is presented.
I have seen people who outright rejects Hadith and says that a lot of changes have been made to the Hadith, so its it not reliable anymore. They claim that since only Quran is the word of GOD and promised to be saved, then how can someone claim that another text is authenticated?
Some people call them Quranists who do not accept any and all Hadiths and believe that the whole Shari'ah can be understood by studying the Quran.
We also have some other sects who only accept Siha e Setta (Six Authentic books) of Hadith. They are the most popular books of Hadith. If reference from any other book is presented to them, they reject it and say that if it doesn't exist in these six and specially Al-Bukhari/Al-Muslim, they will not consider it.
I have two questions, but since both are very similar in nature, I will ask them here together.
Q1. Why do Quranists reject all the Hadiths? How can they extract many rulings/understandings that our Ai'mah have extracted using Quran o Sunnah? In case they are rejecting half of the Deen, what is their ruling? Are they out of the folds of Islam or not?
Example: How can they prove 5 prayers and number of rakats which is discussed in Hadith when they don't even accept them? Another example, Quran only discusses about some Haram Animals, how can they then decide which animals are haram and which halal when they don't accept Fiqh and Hadith O Sunnah.
Q2. Why do some sects reject Hadith from other books? Are those books not reliable? Is popularity the only standard for them to accept Hadith from? Aren't there Authentic/Sahih Ahadith in those other books? Is this sect out of the folds of Islam or not? As they choose what they like and leave what they don't? They follow their 'nafs' while claiming to be following the Quran o Sunnah but when confronted with Hadith from other books, they retaliate with "No, this Hadith is not in Bukhari, so I will not accept it and it is not authentic. It is weak."
For reference, see this wiki-link to see names of other sources of Hadith: List of Sunni Hadith Books

Which scholars are respected by Quranists?

Most of the information I find about Qur'an-only versions of Islam tend to be from some random webpage. Some examples are:
- Quran-Islam.org . Some of the articles (possibly all) are attributed to someone known as "A. Muhammad".
- Free-Minds.org . Some articles here are attributed to Layth Al-Shaiban who has a co-translation of the Qur'an (amazon.com ).
- QuranMessage.com by Joseph A. Islam.
Looking at random articles from these sites, aside from the Qur'an, the only references I found were to other pages on their respective sites; they don't even cite each other. It's hard to tell, therefore, which scholarly opinion Quranists value.
**Question**: Which scholars are respected by Quranists?

> Quranism describes any form of Islam that accepts the Quran as revelation but rejects the religious authority, and/or authenticity of, the Hadith collections. -- Wikipedia
Frequently, non-Quranists use ahadith to better understand the Qur'an. Likewise, they use tafsir to better understand the Qur'an.
> A Quranic tafsir will often explain content and provide places and times, not contained in Quranic verses, as well as give the different views and opinions of scholars on the verse. -- Wikipedia
This motivates my question:
**Question**: Do Quranists also reject tafsir?
The Wikipedia page for Quranism also writes:
> Ahle Quran scholars may use Tafsir when pursuing the interpretations of the Quran.[citation needed]
While an unreferenced snippet, this suggests it's possible that different Quranists have different attitudes towards tafsir. The Wikipedia page for tafsir currently also writes used to write:
> Wahid Al-Qur'an, or "The Qur'an Alone" (a.k.a. Quranism [قرآنيون Qurʾāniyūn]) is the school of tafsir first used by Muslims during the first two centuries of Islamic history[Source needed].
This indicates that Quranists have a different kind of relationship with tafsir.
