Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Can we state this principle that it is permissible to use ruses to achieve religious interests, but not permissible to use them to achieve worldly interests?
Answer:
It is permissible to use permissible ruses when there is a need. However, if your entire occupation is ruses, that is not permissible. But when there is a need, if you need them and there is no harm in them, yes.
