Question:
What is the ruling on acting upon weak hadiths?
Answer:
This is a matter for the scholars, not for the common people. However, the scholars say that weak hadiths may be used in admonition, general exhortation, encouraging good, and warning against evil. But no fiqh rulings regarding what is lawful or forbidden are to be established based on them. They are to be used only for general exhortation, admonition, encouraging good, and warning against evil, on the condition that they are not fabricated or false hadiths.
