Summary
The hadith on the kaffarah prayer performed on the last Friday of Ramadan is judged to be fabricated, following the views of Imam al-Shawkani and Mulla Ali al-Qari. Other narrations on this prayer are judged likewise, and the practice was not followed by the salaf, including the Companions. The hadith may not be spread or acted upon because it is a lie attributed to the Prophet. An act of worship must rest on evidence from the Qur'an or the Sunnah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
maka kami nyatakan bahawa hadith ini adalah palsu dan jelas pada hadith tersebut ciri-ciri atau tanda-tanda kepalsuannya.
