Advice for one who lies frequently and considers it permissible
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I would like advice from your eminence for one who lies frequently to his wife, his parents, and his companions, and considers his lying to be permissible.
Answer:
If he follows his desires and issues rulings for himself, then his case is left to Allah. But if he asks about the truth, lying is not permissible except in what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for, which is three matters: to reconcile between two people, to reconcile between a husband and wife to improve their relationship, or the lie of a commander or the one in authority in war with the enemy in order to deceive him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
