Exaggeration in Praise and False Praise to the Face
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Your Excellency the Shaykh, exaggeration in praise or false praise has its bad effect; it is deceiving the one being praised and misleading the people. So what is your advice to one who follows this path with any of the people? Yes. What is your advice to one who follows this path of false praise or praise to the face?
Answer:
False praise is not permissible; lying is not permissible, and praising a person to his face is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praising someone in his presence, because this is a cause for him to become proud of himself and arrogant, so a person should not be praised in his presence. It came in the hadith:Sahih Muslim 3002b A man praised another man in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said to him: Sahih al-Bukhari 6162. Praising and mutual praise are not permissible. If there is lying in it, then it is invalid. But if there is truth in it, praising the one being praised in his presence is not permissible. Yes.
