The question

Why are weak hadiths displayed on the website, such as "If you see a man frequenting the mosques, then bear witness to his faith," and "Indeed, Allah kindled fire for a thousand years until it turned white and then black," even though Al-Albani has declared them weak?

The answer

The first hadith, we clarified its authentication in Fatwa no. 61767, and the second hadith, we clarified its weakness in Fatwa no. 58076. Citing weak hadiths while clarifying their authentication is not subject to criticism, as many scholars have narrated weak hadiths in their works. Rather, it is incumbent to investigate their authenticity or weakness to determine whether they can be used as evidence or not.
