The Ruling on Lying for the Benefit of Da'wah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people say that it is permissible to lie for the benefit of da'wah (calling others to Islam). Is this statement correct?

Answer:
Da'wah forbids lying, so how can it be a benefit to da'wah? Yes.
