Is it permissible to begin by memorizing weak and fabricated hadiths in order to explain them to people, or should one finish memorizing the authentic hadiths first?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We recommend further memorization of authentic hadiths and the Quran, and learning the legal rulings with their proofs, in order to achieve correct worship based on the Book and the Sunnah. Then, teach that to the people, clarifying the weakness of what has been proven to be weak among the hadiths. Also, be keen on connecting with scholars of the Sunnah, attending their gatherings, and consulting them. As for learning weak hadiths and focusing on them and teaching them to those who know little of the authentic ones, we see that as contrary to what is preferable.
