Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Mu'adh al-Shaykh asks: Is it permissible to lie in the records and add to them in order to discipline the offender by imposing a severe punishment on him, so that he may be declared a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Is it permissible to lie in the records and add to them in disciplining the offender, in order to impose a severe punishment on him, so that he is declared a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
We seek refuge in Allah. This is not permissible. This is injustice. It is not permissible to wrong the one who made a mistake or the one who is subject to discussion; you must not wrong him by writing something that is not the case. This is injustice, and Allah does not love the wrongdoers.
