Q 4:
Is the Hadith reported by
Ibn Majah:
"Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim." an authentic Hadith?
A:
The Hadith:
“Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim”
(Part No. 12; Page No. 88) is deemed weak by many scholars while others regarded it as authentic. The meaning of the Hadith is sound in general as every Muslim should learn of his religion the matters that being ignorant in is not pardonable.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
