Yabia Omer vol. 9 Orah Haim sim. 96:

גם ראיתי בקובץ "משנת חכמים", (תשרי תש"ס), במאמר מאת הרה"ג עזריאל מנצור (עמוד לה) שכתב, ששאל על זה מאת הרה"ג יעקב מוצפי זצ"ל, ואמר לו, שספר "תורה לשמה" אינו לרבי יוסף חיים.‏

HaRav Yaakov Muztafi זצ"ל was quoted saying that Sefer "Torah Lishma" is not from the Ben Ish Hai! I am misunderstanding this? Can someone please explain what exactly is going on? This book is known to be from the BI"H.

For a source that it is from the Ben Ish Chai, see its introduction written by his son. – Shmuel Brin Jan 24 at 2:07

There is a Mahloket between Hacham Ovadia Yosef Shelita (Yabia 9:OH:96) and HaRav Yaakov Moshe Hilel Shelita (one of his biographies of Ben Ish Hai - in the Inyan about "Torah Lishma): Hacham Ovadia (obviously) holds it was not written by Rabenu Yosef Haim. However, Hacham Yaakov Hilel holds it was written by him, and he even adds "ודלא כאלה שפקפו בזה".

The text of Yabia Omer that you quoted does not show that Rav Ovadiah accepts what he heard in the name of Rav Mutzafi. – Dave Mar 30 at 20:59
@Dave not that text, but if you the rest of the Teshuva you will see he agrees. – Hacham Gabriel Mar 30 at 21:11
What does he say about this? – Shmuel Brin Mar 30 at 21:19
@ShmuelBrill he is not saying it Stam, he proves it. (anyways, that's his grandson, not his son). – Hacham Gabriel Mar 30 at 22:16
How does he prove it? – Shmuel Brin Mar 30 at 23:46
