Memorizing the Book (Bulugh al-Maram)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 20317 )
Q2: I started memorizing the book (Bulugh al-Maram) by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) some time ago, and I have made a considerable amount of progress. However, I find confusion regarding weak hadiths, and even those that are very weak, knowing that he (may Allah have mercy on him) has traced their chains of narration. Should they be left aside and ignored, or should they be memorized for the purpose of citation and the multiplicity of chains? I hope for your guidance.
A2: The book (Bulugh al-Maram) is a book of great benefit and high status, and students of knowledge are in need of such a book to know the authentic and weak hadiths. Its author (may Allah have mercy on him) clarified this in his tracing of the hadiths, so may Allah reward him with good and multiply his reward.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
