The Ruling on Narrating Weak and Fabricated Hadiths

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to narrate weak and fabricated hadiths, especially those concerning the virtues of deeds?

Answer:
I mean mentioning the hadith. Yes, Shaykh. Mentioning a fabricated hadith is not permissible. As for the weak hadith, this varies depending on its context. It may be raised to the level of hasan (a good hadith) due to supporting narrations, and not all weak hadiths are the same. This is known only by the scholars of knowledge. So, if a hadith comes to you and you do not know about its authenticity or its chain of narration, ask the scholars specialized in the science of hadith. Yes.
