The Permissibility of Acting and Lying in Da'wah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks and says: Is the hadith of the three men—the bald one, the leper, and the blind one—cited as evidence for the permissibility of acting and lying for the sake of calling people to Allah?

Answer:
No. What indicates the permissibility of calling people to Allah is not through lying or acting. I mean the artistic acting that is known today. As for giving examples, there is no harm in that; giving examples that clarify the meaning is found in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. But the artistic acting that is practiced now, such as making television series, is not permissible. Yes.
