Advice to a mother who lies frequently, and whether reprimanding her constitutes undutifulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My mother lies a lot, and I often warn her about this lying, but she has not stopped lying. He asks: Am I undutiful if I rebuke her for this lying? Knowing that her lying is always a trial for the wife, and for the relatives, and sometimes regarding their honor, what should be done with her?
Answer:
Lying is not permissible,[An-Nahl 16:105] Lying is forbidden and a major sin among the major sins, so you must advise your mother and remind her of the punishment for liars, [Ali 'Imran 3:61], so it is not permissible for a Muslim to lie, neither a man nor a woman, especially if he lies to people and accuses people, the matter is more severe, or if he lies in news and reports about something that has no truth, so a Muslim should not be lax regarding lying. And you must advise your mother, and this is obligatory upon you and a right she has over you that you advise her, and this is not undutifulness but rather it is dutifulness and forbidding what is wrong. Yes.

Answer:
Lying is not permissible,
They only invent falsehood who do not believe in the verses of Allah, and it is those who are the liars.
إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِي الْكَذِبَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَاذِبُونَand invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars [among us]."
فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ
