The ruling on citing weak hadiths in the virtues of actions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. He says: What is the ruling on citing a weak hadith in the virtues of actions?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it according to the majority of scholars, because no legal ruling of obligation, recommendation, dislike, or prohibition is established based on it. Rather, it contains encouragement to obedience and prohibition from sin. This has a basis in the Book and the Sunnah. Encouragement to obedience is present in the Book and the Sunnah, and prohibition from sin is present in the Book and the Sunnah. So, if the hadith is weak and its weakness does not reach the level of being extremely weak and severe, it is acted upon in preaching, reminding, encouraging, and warning according to the scholars. Yes.
