Does fabrication of Hadith still take place?
Question
Does fabrication of Hadith still take place?
Answer
When people can lie, forge and wrongly attribute things to others, then definitely they can wrongly attribute things to Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Hence, if they wrongly attribute things to Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), then this will be called fabricating Ahaadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
