In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Al-Allamah Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him, stated:

It is not allowed to convey false and fabricated ahadith and attribute them to the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. This is due to the fact that many among the followers of misguidance and those who pursue vain desires fabricate narrations, use them as evidence, and claim them to be authentic to align with their desires. When authentic narrations contradict their desires, they either reject them or distort and misinterpret them (in a way that deviates from) their true meanings. This reflects the condition of the followers of misguidance – they seek out fabricated and false ahadith, present them to others, and use them as evidence to support their desires. In contrast, when faced with authentic narrations that contradict their desires, they either deny them or misplace them. Furthermore, a notable trait of a hypocrite is that he lies when he speaks; therefore, refrain from addressing the people unless you are being truthful, and avoid excessive discussion about ahadith that lack benefit, out of concern for falling into lying. The Messenger said, “It is enough lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears” [a] [1]
