Question
It has become a recent practice in some Musjids that on the morning of Eidul Fitr after the Fardh Salaat, Zam Zam and dates are served to the musallees whilst the Imaams read out the Hadith of Al-Aswadayn along with its Chain of narrators right uptill Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Some Ulama say that this is bid'ah because the Hadith is weak. What is the correct view?
Answer
The practice which they have introduced with the dates and Zam Zam is bid'ah, not because the Hadith may be weak, but because it is a new innovation into the Deen.
