Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are weak hadiths cited as evidence in the chapter of dhikr and in the chapter of encouragement and warning?
Answer:
Yes, weak hadiths vary. A hadith may be weak, but it has corroborating narrations that raise it to the level of hasan li-ghayrihi (good due to supporting evidence). It may be weak according to some scholars, good according to others, or authentic according to yet others. As for what is unanimously agreed to be weak, that weak hadith is different. It is not the case that whenever something is called weak, we simply wash our hands of it. No, weak hadiths differ greatly, and this is known only to the scholars of knowledge and the specialists in hadith.
