Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. From the questions of the questioner Abu 'Abdullah, who asks about weak hadiths. He says: Do we cite them, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
Weak hadiths differ. If they are severely weak, they are not cited. However, if their weakness is not severe, or if there is something from other hadiths that corroborates them, they are cited in matters of the virtues of actions, but not to establish legal rulings. Rather, they are cited in encouraging good and warning against evil, and in the virtues of actions. Yes.
