The Ruling on Lying to Reconcile People

Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to lie to reconcile people?

Answer:
Yes, and this is among the situations in which lying is permissible to reconcile people. Look, people have a dispute between them, and you say, "By Allah, so-and-so is eager to meet you, and so-and-so loves you," and so on, and so on, and so on. Even if you are lying, you want to bring him closer to his brother and remove what is between them. If the intention behind the lie is reconciliation between brothers, there is nothing wrong with it.
But what about the one who stirs up discord between brothers? He stirs up discord between them, exacerbates the rift, records them, and distributes the recordings. This, and I seek refuge in Allah, is a stirrer of discord. This is a talebearer. So this person wants to cause corruption among people, whereas the one who reconciles people, even by lying, is doing what is permissible.

May Allah reward you.
