The ruling on acting based on a weak hadith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: O Shaykh! Is every ruling that relies on a weak hadith called a religious innovation?
Answer:
Acts of worship are based on divine legislation; no act of worship is prescribed without evidence. Therefore, acts of worship for which there is no evidence are considered religious innovations. As for matters concerning the forbidden and the lawful, the original ruling is that things are lawful unless the Shari'ah has prohibited them.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you.
