Ibn Taymiyyah: Permission to relate weak narrations only as supporting evidence for established good manners

Ibn Taymiyyah said, “It is not permissible to establish something in the Sharia based upon a weak narration which is not authentic or good, but Ahmad bin Hanbal and other scholars considered it permissible to narrate regarding virtuous deeds which are not known to be affirmed but when it is known not to be a lie. That is because when the action is known to be legislated with authentic evidence and it is not known to be a false narration, then it is possible that the reward is true, but not one of the Imams said that he considered it to be permissible to make something obligatory or recommended based upon a weak narration.”

[Majmu Al-Fatawa 250/1]

قال ابن تيمية ولا يجوز أن يعتمد في الشريعة على الأحاديث الضعيفة التي ليست صحيحة ولا حسنة، لكن أحمد بن حنبل وغيره من العلماء جوزوا أن يروى في فضائل الأعمال ما لم يعلم أنه ثابت إذا لم يعلم أنه كذب، وذلك أن العمل إذا علم أنه مشروع بدليل شرعي وروى حديث لا يعلم أنه كذب جاز أن يكون الثواب حقا، ولم يقل أحد من الأئمة أنه يجوز أن يجعل الشيء واجبا أو مستحبا بحديث ضعيف
