Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the criterion for tawriyah? Many people use it without compulsion or need.
Answer:
Tawriyah is when one utters words without intending their literal meaning. It falls into three categories. The first is when one intends to escape from an oppressor; there is no harm in this. The second is when one intends to oppress people and take their money through tawriyah; this is forbidden without a doubt. The third is when one is neither an oppressor nor oppressed; there is scholarly disagreement on this, with some scholars permitting it and others not. Yes.
