The Muslim's Position on Weak Hadiths

Question:
Shaykh, what is the Muslim's position on fabricated, weak, and unverified hadiths, O Shaykh?

Answer:
As for the fabricated ones, it is not permissible to act upon them. As for the weak ones, the weak varies; a hadith that is severely weak is also not to be acted upon. However, a weak hadith that has corroborating narrations, or that falls under authentic evidence, in matters of encouraging good, warning against evil, and moral exhortation, there is no harm in that. But it must not be attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with certainty. Rather, one should say, "It is narrated from the Messenger of Allah," or "It is reported from the Messenger of Allah such and such." One should not say, "The Messenger of Allah said." Instead, one should use the form of caution (tamrid), provided that it does not reach a degree of weakness that approaches fabrication. Also, it must have corroborating narrations. Yes.
