Summary
This Irsyad al-Hadith entry judges the hadith to be fabricated, following the assessments of scholars such as al-Nawawi, Ibn al-Jauzi and al-Suyuthi. It must not be attributed to the Prophet SAW or circulated. According to al-Mawardi and al-Mutawalli, the fast being nullified refers to the loss of its reward, not the fast itself becoming invalid. Even though the hadith is fabricated, the five acts mentioned remain prohibited in Islam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
