The Ruling on Acting Upon Fabricated Hadiths

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. This is Abdullah from Riyadh asking: What is the ruling on acting upon fabricated hadiths?

Answer:
It is not permissible to act upon fabricated hadiths, for they are lies attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who lies about me deliberately will certainly come to his abode in Hell.من كذب علي متعمدا فليتبوأ مقعده من النار
Sunan Abi Dawud 3651Sahih (Al-Albani)
. Therefore, it is not permissible to act upon fabricated hadiths. As for weak hadiths, they may be acted upon in matters of encouraging good and warning against evil, but no legal rulings are established based on them. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
