Question:
Shaykh Salih, some people, especially in advice and sermons, cite weak hadiths and say that this was reported regarding the virtues of deeds and da'wah (calling others to Islam).
Answer:
Yes. No, not for da'wah. But the scholars said that weak hadiths may be cited as evidence for the virtues of deeds, because this is a good thing. A weak hadith, if it is not extremely weak, and especially if it has corroborating narrations from other hadiths, may be cited to encourage good and warn against evil. Yes.
