The answer

It is not permissible to propagate fabricated hadiths attributed to the Prophet, except to expose their falsehood, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever intentionally fabricates a lie against me shall take his seat in the Hellfire," and "Whoever narrates a hadith from me, believing it to be false, is one of the liars." It is incumbent upon anyone who wishes to transmit a hadith to first verify its authenticity. Brothers should be advised and warned about the danger of spreading fabricated hadiths.
