Question:
What is the position of the people of the Sunnah regarding a weak hadith? Do they act upon it?
Answer:
They act upon it under conditions. First, they do not assert with certainty that it is attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, they say, "It is narrated from the Messenger of Allah thus," using the form of weakening, "it is narrated," and they do not say, "The Messenger of Allah said." It is used in the virtues of deeds, and no independent ruling is established based on it because it is weak; it is not suitable for building a ruling, but it is acted upon in the virtues of deeds, in encouraging good and warning against evil. The third condition is that its weakness not be extreme. If its weakness is extreme, it is not acted upon. Yes.
