TO HAVE: NEGATIVE FORM
Nowadays we are used to use the form ''don't/doesn't have" instead of "haven't/hasn't".
Is it quite an error to use the 'old' form haven'/hasn't? Is it weird?
Thanks

Both forms are possible and one form is generally no more formal or popular than the other. Did you have a particular usage in mind when you asked your question?
e.g. he does not have any money = he hasn't any money.
We don't say: "he has not any money" - this does not sound natural.
If this doesn't answer your question, please ask again. Kind regards, Michael

I agree with Michael.
He hasn't any money - is absolutely fine.
Well, HE might not think it's fine!
