Lying in Jihad, Reconciliation, and Between Spouses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I heard that lying is permissible in three matters: in jihad, in reconciliation, and between a man and his wife.
The Shaykh:
Reconciliation is not the same as a truce. In reconciliation between people, this is permissible; there is no harm. The benefit is stronger. Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: Is the intended meaning of permissible lying here ta'wil (figurative interpretation) and tadlis (concealment of a defect in a chain), or is it explicit lying?
The Shaykh:
Lying for the sake of benefit; lying for a matter that results in a stronger benefit. Yes.
