Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the statement of the Shaykh al-Islam, and the fact that no one among the imams said that it is permissible to make something obligatory or recommended based on a weak hadith. What is the basis for what Ibn Muflih (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned, that if a hadith is weak, it is to be understood as indicating recommendation if it is a command, and as indicating dislike if it is a prohibition? Is there a contradiction with the consensus in this?
Answer:
This is his opinion, this is his opinion (may Allah have mercy on him). But the correct view is what you heard: that no legal ruling is established based on it, neither obligation nor recommendation, nor prohibition nor dislike. It is only used for encouraging and warning, provided it is established by sound principles that fall under authentic hadiths. It is not cited as evidence on its own. Yes.
