Our Friday preacher cites weak and fabricated hadiths; is it permissible for us to leave him and go out?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner from outside this country says: We have a mosque in our country where the Friday imam cites weak and fabricated hadiths in his sermon. He asks: Is it permissible to attend the Friday prayer with such a person? And if we attend and hear these hadiths, are we allowed to leave?
Answer:
If you are certain that he cites fabricated hadiths—fabricated, false ones—and you have advised him but he did not retract, then do not pray with him. As for the matter of weak hadiths, there is leniency in that, but not with fabricated ones. If you are certain they are fabricated, do not pray with him, and he refuses to retract. Yes, that means he is lying about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
