Is the dissemination of religious lectures that contain an error in the narration of a Prophetic Hadith, such as adding letters or changing sentences, while the meaning remains correct, considered a lie against the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)? And is its publisher sinful?

There is no harm as long as the aforementioned error does not change the meaning and does not contain anything that violates the Sharia. It is preferable to convert the lecture into a written lesson, correct the mistakes, and then publish it for the benefit to spread.
