IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE 560 : MELAGAKAN ORANG LAIN KETIKA RAMADAN MEMBATALKAN PUASA
Is it true that there is a hadith saying a person's fast is invalidated by inciting others or tale-bearing during Ramadan?
Short answer
The hadith stating that five acts, including tale-bearing (namimah), break the fast and invalidate ablution is judged fabricated, because its chain includes three narrators notorious for forging hadith.

Summary
The hadith stating that five acts, including tale-bearing (namimah), break the fast and invalidate ablution is judged fabricated, because its chain includes three narrators notorious for forging hadith. Baqiyah bin Walid is a trustworthy narrator, but his reports from problematic narrators such as Muhammad bin Hajjaj, who is described as a liar, are rejected. Even though the hadith is fabricated, inciting people and causing quarrels remains prohibited, especially while fasting. Such conduct does not invalidate the fast but may reduce its reward.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadis ini palsu kerana di dalam sanad hadis ini terdapat tiga orang perawi yang terkenal dengan jenayah pemalsuan hadis
