Ruling on acting on hadith zaeyfe

Abstract

Scientists have acknowledged the value of the purified Sunnah in Islam from the first century to the present. They invested efforts in its preservation, compilation, and documentation, distinguishing authentic narrators from weak ones. They established rules to identify the true from the weak Hadith of the Messenger of Allah, showing that God's success led them to carry the Sunnah effectively. They authored works, clarified issues, and assessed thousands of narrators with knowledge and expertise, ensuring rightful authentication and disqualification.This discussion aims to explore scholars' views on the use of weak Hadith and their conditions for it. The research highlights the correct understanding of weak Hadith's status, emphasizing caution toward great scholars who dedicated their lives to preserving the Sunnah. Weak Hadith holds a legitimate role in religion, even if it does not meet full authenticity criteria. It possesses some truth but lacks other necessary conditions for acceptance. Consequently, the majority classify it as accepted, especially concerning virtues, encouragement, discouragement, sermons, and emotions, excluding rulings and beliefs. Rejecting all weak Hadith is a significant trial. Thus, it is not entirely rejected in all contexts, and some scholars recommend its use in specific situations.
