It will be accepted for virtues of deeds ( fadhaвЂ™il al-aвЂ™mal) and not for the different laws in ShariвЂ™ah.вЂќ.

It will be accepted if there are no other ahadith to substantiate that particular chapter or topic, and.including fabrications in Ihya) is that he relied on the book, Qut al-Qulub of Abu Talib al-Makki and he mentioned those ahadith there from.вЂќ (Ibid)ДЄs for the role of weak ahadith, Imam al-Sakhawi (Allah have mercy on him) has mentioned in his book, al-Qawl al BadiвЂ™ вЂњRegarding weak narrations there are 3 views: Shaykh вЂAbd al-Fattah further states another reason for this вЂњPerhaps his excuse for doing that (i.e. And he has mentioned regarding himself in his book, Qanun al-TaвЂ™wil (pg.16), вЂAnd my knowledge of hadith is but scanty.вЂ™вЂќ ( al-TaвЂ™aliqat al-Hafilah, pg. Shaykh вЂAbd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah (Allah have mercy on him) states in al-TaвЂ™aliqat al-Hafilah вЂњImam Ghazali (Allah have mercy on him) was unique in regards to the knowledge of jurisprudence, its principles, tasawwuf, beliefs, philosophy and others except for the knowledge of hadith, for verily he did not spare time to master it. The reason for Imam Ghazali (Allah have mercy on him) having included suchВ ahadith in his most beneficial work, is the fact that he did not know of their fabrication. The proof for this is that these ahadith were prevalent even before Imam Ghazali (Allah have mercy on him) was born. However, the blasphemous accusation of Imam Ghazali (Allah have mercy on him) having fabricated those ahadith is definitely incorrect. Imam Muhammad Murtada al-Zabidi (Allah have mercy on him), the famous and renown commentator of the Ihya, has mentioned the following in the forward of his commentary вЂњVerily the ahadith mentioned by the author (Imam Ghazali) vary between those that are unanimously accepted, sahih (authentic) and hasan (sound) and of them are some that are weak and some a fabrication though very few.вЂќ ( ItвЂ™haf al-Sadat al-Muttaqin, 1:38)ДЇor quotations of other вЂulama which support the above, refer to the above mentioned reference. The fact that fabricated ahadith are quoted in Ihya вЂUlum al-Din cannot be refuted.

Explain the role of weak ahadith and can they be used. Is it true that Imam Ghazali (Allah have mercy on him) used fabricated ahadith in his Ihya вЂUlum al-Din? Are these allegations true that ahadith where fabricated to support Sufism.
