The questioner:
Yes. He says: If I want to reconcile two people, am I allowed to say some phrases that may not be true?
The Shaykh:
In reconciliation between people, lying is permissible if it leads to the satisfaction of the other party. So lying is permissible for the sake of reconciliation between people, by saying, "So-and-so speaks well of you," "So-and-so praises you," "So-and-so wants to meet you," or the like, for the sake of the benefit. Yes.
