Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. If a person performs an act and discovers that it is the weaker opinion, what should he do, Shaykh Salim?
Answer:
The action is to perform that act, for his conscience is not cleared except by doing so. And Allah is the One to be sought for help.

Yes. As for if this matter is recommended, then the recommended is an easy matter. Yes.
