Why has the questioner's trust in the website been eroded after reviewing its fatwa regarding Salat al-Tasabih, and what is the validity of some Hadith scholars' assertion concerning the weakness of its narrations?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The disagreement regarding Salat al-Tasabih (the Prayer of Glorifications) is wide enough to accommodate various views. The prophetic tradition concerning it has been authenticated by some scholars and weakened by others. Among those who authenticated it are Al-Albani, based on the totality of its various chains of transmission, and Al-Hakim, due to its practice by imams and their consistency in performing it, with Al-Dhahabi concurring with him. It was also authenticated by Siraj al-Din al-Balqini, Al-Hafiz al-Ala'i, Badr al-Din al-Zarkashi, Al-Daraqutni, Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi, Abu Musa al-Madini, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Dawud, Al-Suyuti, and Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar. Furthermore, there is a narration from Imam Ahmad that indicates his retraction from weakening it. It is advisable to seek knowledge and not restrict the religion to the opinions of specific scholars.
