What is the ruling on acting upon a weak hadith in supplications (Du'a) and during times when supplications are answered? And is a supplication restricted to a specific time or place — not mentioned in the Sunnah — considered an innovation (bid'ah)? And what is the definition of innovation, and is every new matter in religion an innovation? And what is the difference between an innovation and what is not an innovation in matters of supplications and remembrances (Adhkar)?
It is permissible to act upon a weak under certain conditions, and it is permissible to recite the supplication (du'a) contained within it, as long as it does not involve sin or severance of kinship ties. It is also prescribed to supplicate during the time of the and between the two corners [of the Ka'bah] with both reported (ma'thur) and non-reported supplications. However, it is not permissible to intentionally abandon a reported supplication when one is aware of it. It is also prescribed to perform general remembrances (adhkar) and supplications at any time, without being bound by specific forms or unestablished numbers.
