It's unhealthy for a rabbit (or any animal, really) to gain weight fast.
If your rabbit is underweight, it should gain weight slowly and gradually and get back to health that way. Don't sacrifice your rabbit's health and safety just to make the right weight. If you have plans for the rabbit that requires a good weight (like placing the rabbit in a show, or breeding the rabbit), you'll just have to put those plans off.
The first step to helping your rabbit gain weight is to find out why it's underweight. If it has a parasite or disease, that problem needs to be treated by a vet first or else nothing else that you do will work and the rabbit will only get worse. See the related question below for more info about rabbit vets.
Once you know the rabbit is healthy, aside from being underweight, the vet will probably suggest a diet slightly higher in fats and proteins than normal for adult rabbits - a diet more similar to that of baby rabbits. You might use a pellet specifically designed for babies, and you might feed the rabbit alfalfa hay instead of grass hay (like timothy).
To make sure you do it safely, a weight gain plan should be guided by your vet.
