Bond between Flourine and Hydrogen is very strong because of very high electronegativity difference. That is why Flourine doesn't let Hydrogen go easily. So extent of donating H+ in is low in HF that is why it is considered weak acid. It is classified as weak based upon its dissociation when in solution with water.
