If there is a weak hadith in an innovation, is it not a precaution to act upon it?

The questioner : I have one more question. If someone says, "If this bid'ah (religious innovation) has a weak hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), is it not a precaution to do it?" If the hadith is authentic, then I have done what is right. If it is not authentic, I am excused because I was cautious.

The Shaykh : Yes, we must be aware that this doubt is raised by the people of innovation who build their innovations on weak hadiths. They say, "I don't know what they are saying. I am now saying: Is it not a precaution to act upon it?" If a weak hadith is reported regarding one of the innovations, is it not a precaution to act upon it? Because if it is authentic, I have acted and done what is right. If it is not authentic, I have been cautious for myself and I am not sinful. What do you answer me with? This is clarified in the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): . The one who buys it. They are doubtful matters. And in the hadith: the elephant. So we must stay away from this. Yes, this is one of the evidences. We say in the answer to this:
Worship is not established except with certainty through valid evidence. How can you estimate and legislate in the religion of Allah what you do not know? And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: We know that it is the command of Allah and His Messenger, so it is my Lord. So, is the precaution in doing this thing based on the weak hadith, or in leaving it?
I answer the group: the precaution is in leaving it. The precaution is in leaving it, and I have an excuse with Allah the Exalted. I say, "O Lord, the hadith was not authentic from Your Prophet until I acted upon it or was obligated to do so." But I have no excuse if I act upon it while building it on a weak hadith. I have no excuse with Allah. So, rather, it is panic based on weak hadiths, built on no foundation. And there is no proof with Allah the Exalted on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah the Exalted said: The brother reads the verse to him. Precise. Yes. And take off for us. And a place for one who takes. Do you not know? Are you not present?
Did you hear it from me, or did you not hear it from me? You heard it from me and listened to me. May Allah take care of the secrets. So, what is the verse? And we are commanded to respond to the messengers, not to respond to so-and-so and so-and-so. If so-and-so and so-and-so do not have evidence from the saying of Allah or His Messenger, is their statement accepted or rejected? If a person does not have evidence from the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger, his statement is rejected, because we ask:
