see:
It should be known that inauthentic Ahadeeth are not to be acted on in Fada-il or Fiqh rulings or otherwise. We worship Allah with what was authentically narrated on the authority of the Messenger of Allah - ﷺ. It is not permissible to attribute an inauthentic Hadeeth to the Prophet - ﷺ – except when clarifying its weakness. The Messenger - ﷺ - said:
Whoever says that I said something which I didn't, then let him prepare his seat in the Fire.Collected by al Bukhari
For those who have heard some of our beloved scholars using some of these Ahadeeth, then here is some differing amongst the people of knowledge, past and present, concerning using inauthentic Ahadeeth in Targheeb and Tarheeb, i.e. encouraging the Muslims to practice goodness and warning them from practicing evil. Some scholars hold it permissible to use inauthentic Ahadeeth in this case. For example they may know the weakness of the Hadeeth "Fast and you will be healthy." However they still mention it because it may encourage a lot of lazy people to fast Mondays and Thursdays for example (for additional health benefits).
They see the permissibility of doing so in order to get the Muslims to perform acts of worship that would only benefit them, with the condition that
- the Hadeeth is not severely weak,
- it is not stated that the Messenger - ﷺ - said it or believed that the Hadeeth is authentic, rather its weakness must be clarified,
- and the action being called to falls under an established legislated principle.
Other scholars hold that it is not permissible to use them altogether.
