Forgetting an appointment and making a false excuse of travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The sixth question of Fatwa No. ( 15806 )
Q 6: I had an appointment with one of my friends, but I forgot it and did not go to meet him. When I called him, I found myself making an excuse and telling him that I had been traveling to the city, even though I had not traveled, and I did not intend to lie to him. What is the ruling in Islam regarding this?
A 6 : It is forbidden for you to lie in your excuse. You must repent and adhere to truthfulness in all your affairs. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
