Is a weak hadith acted upon?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding a weak hadith, is it acted upon?

Answer:
A weak hadith has categories. If it is hasan (good) with a sound chain of narration, it is acted upon. If it is weak in its degree, it is not acted upon. A hadith that is weak in its degree is not acted upon if there is a liar in its chain of narration, or if there is someone in its chain of narration whose memory is very poor, or if its chain of narration is broken.
