Does narrating weak hadiths fall under lying about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does this prohibition include ... weak hadiths?

The Shaykh : Fabricated hadiths are undoubtedly included. As for weak hadiths, if the weakness is not remedied by a supporting chain or by other means or by corroborating narrations, then it is the same. However, it should be said: It is narrated, and it is made clear that it is weak.
