Objections against the Ahaadith of Fazaail Aamaal
Q: I am troubled by a comment someone has made to me regarding the Fazaail Aamaal. We grew up reading it, and so did this person. But now suddenly, through the influence of another person, this person says that Fazaail Aamaal is a "Tabligh kitaab" which is unreliable as it contains weak Ahaadith.
Can you please explain to me whether Fazaail Aamaal is a reliable kitaab or not.
