Re: Shab-e-Barat…a limited phenomenon?
Simply put … There are fadail which can be practiced upon weak hadith, but no hukm … Hukm must be based on the soundest basis. So to call it a bid’ah is wrong, but to say that it is unsubstantiated is more accurate. Some schools don’t act upon weak hadith others do … For me Islam is a lot more fuller in the hadith that cannot be shown to be false, but are also not classified as sahih. Tradition can answer a lot of questions … And the question of whether the subcontinent are at fault for bringing this concept in is false as people have been talking about it for years …
