The Ruling on Citing Weak Hadiths
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is 'Abd al-Karim from Egypt. He says: What is the ruling on one who cites weak hadiths?
Answer:
Weak hadiths are cited in matters of virtues and in encouraging good and warning against evil, but they are not cited to establish rulings regarding what is lawful and forbidden or what is obligatory. One does not cite a weak hadith for that. As for citing them in encouraging good and warning against evil, and citing them in preaching and reminding, there is nothing wrong with it. It is the chapter of urging people to good and deterring them from evil. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
