Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. If a student of knowledge notices that a fabricated hadith is mentioned among the fabricated hadiths, but a group of scholars objected and said, "No, this hadith is not fabricated," what is the position of the student of knowledge in this situation, Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
His position is to investigate the arguments of those who excluded it from the fabricated hadiths. If he finds their statement to be sound, he acts upon it; otherwise, he considers it among the fabricated hadiths.
