Is it permissible to deceive a disbeliever to escape from him, such as if he asks to prostrate and you prostrate to him, but?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to deceive a disbeliever to escape from him? And he gave an example, saying: If the disbeliever asks me to prostrate to him, he says: So I prostrate, but that he prostrates

Answer:
to Allah. No. We leave this question. This is an ugly question. It is not permissible to prostrate to a created being, whether a disbeliever or not. Neither by way of deception nor by way of seriousness. Yes.
