The ruling on attributing weak athar to Allah the Exalted using the phrase: “It is reported in an athar from Allah”

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, sometimes some preachers mention hadiths in which they say, “It is reported in an athar from Allah,” and these may be weak. Is it permissible to attribute them to Allah and present them to the general public?

Answer:
Depending on their content. If they contain something that contradicts the authentic evidence, it is not permissible to mention them. However, if they do not contradict the authentic evidence, the issue remains regarding the chain of narration. In that case, one should not assert their attribution, but rather say, “It is reported in an athar” or “It is narrated thus and thus.” The phrase “it is narrated” is a form of caution. If they contradict the authentic evidence, it is not permissible to mention them or rely on them. But if they do not contradict any authentic evidence, then if their chain is authentic, they are authentic. If their chain is not authentic, one should not assert them, but rather say, “It is narrated thus” or “It is said thus from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.” Yes.
