Lying in reconciliation between people is done by implication

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Lying for the sake of reconciliation

Answer : is permissible, but with that, some scholars say that lying in reconciliation must be by implication (tawriyah), as in the three cases of war, reconciliation, and between spouses. They say that the intended meaning of lying here is lying by implication, whereas explicit lying is not permissible, because the problem with explicit lying is that if the liar is exposed, the matter becomes more severe.
