Weak ahadith are still valid ahadith

You

Just something I want to clear up.

A hadith with a weak chain of narration is still a valid hadith. It is not rejected or found to be manufactured - those have different terms for them.

The best example in this is one of parents. If a parent goes weak will you disown them? no.

In the same way, you cant disown a hadith simply because its chain of narration is weak. The historical position is that they are used for guidance and benefits, but not for rules.

PS a weak hadith can rise to a stronger position even as far as hasan if there are other similar ahadith that support its position.

There are two authentic sources of information in Islam. 1) Holy Quran 2) Adith.
I just want to discuss only adith regarding the subject that weak adith also have some reference therefore it is meaningful but if you get adith with strong reference over specific topic. It would be acceptable.
