A Doubt: How Do we Act Upon the Sunnah When Some of it is Weak?

Points taken from the talk ‘How to Honour the Sunnah’
Shaykh Sa’d bin Naasir ash-Shithree [May Allaah Preserve him]
Jaami’ Ameerah Mawdee bint Ahmad as-Sudayree

9/4/1434 - 20/2/2013


Allaah, the Most High, has honoured this Ummah. We have those who are able to decipher between what is authentic and weak. Those who have studied and are able to look at chains of narrations, its narrators and the text they are narrating. They have the ability to scrutinise with detail, narrator by narrator, chain by chain, to the extent that they have reached the level of being firm upon the Sunnah and in its understanding. This is because of the fact that they have sought to understand it, how it is derived and thus gaining expertise in it.

So there is a need for us all to follow the scholars in finding the Sunnah. There is a need for us to act upon the Saheeh (authentic) and leave the Da’eef (weak), and this can only be done by relying upon those who are experts in this field.
