The ruling on accepting Al-Albani's grading of hadiths as weak in historical matters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, you mentioned the matter of Sa'id narrating that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in love with 'Aishah, knowing that the matters of 'ishq (love), the bath, and the spider are weak, as Al-Albani has stated.
Answer:
Even if Al-Albani has graded these as weak, they are historical matters upon which no creed is based, and Allah is capable of everything, Glorified and Exalted is He. The issue of 'ishq is well-known among historians and those who narrate reports. Whatever Al-Albani has graded as weak, we set it aside and say it is not authentic, and we cross it out with a red pen. Al-Albani makes mistakes and he is correct.
