The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the important role and urgency of the existence of the Department of Hadith Science in fighting the spread of fake hadiths in the digital era. The results of this research showed that there were only 38 Hadith Science Departement from 99 State Islamic Universities and only 2 of them received "Excellent" accreditation.
