Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ahmad sent a question saying: I seek forgiveness from Shaykh Salih for this. I call people to Allah, but I cite some weak hadiths that are used in sermons and advice. What is the ruling on narrating such hadiths?
Answer:
If you are a person of knowledge who distinguishes between an authentic, good, and weak hadith, and you cite a weak hadith for the sake of reminding, admonishing, or encouraging and warning, then the scholars have permitted this. However, deriving a legal ruling from a weak hadith, whether it is making something lawful or forbidden, is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
