Question:
Finally, he says: Lying is a serious matter, Honorable Shaykh. What is its ruling in the Islamic Shari'ah?
Answer:
That is, a Muslim does not let his tongue engage in lying; he avoids lying, but the kind that does not result in harm to anyone is a sin. May Allah reward you and bless you, Honorable Shaykh Salih, for your kindness in answering the brothers and sisters in this program, Nur 'ala al-Darb. We look forward to meeting you and Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the body of young scholars and a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, in the coming episodes, if Allah wills. And may Allah's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
