Summary
A matruk hadith is a type of weak (dhaif) hadith at a very severe level of weakness. Linguistically it means abandoned. Technically, scholars give several definitions, generally referring to a chain containing a narrator accused of lying, or one who is extremely sinful, heedless and prone to many errors in narration. Its ruling is that it is extremely weak, and some hadith scholars call it a false hadith or al-wahi.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Para ulama' mengatakan hadith matruk hukumnya adalah teramat dhaif dan sebahagian para ulama' hadith menamakannya sebagai hadith yang bathil atau al-wahi (الواهي).
