The Ruling on Lying in Records to Discipline the Offender
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, he says: Is it permissible to lie in the reports and add to them in order to discipline the one who has transgressed, so that a severe punishment is inflicted upon him, perhaps he will stop?
Answer:
We seek refuge in Allah. This is not permissible. This is injustice. It is not permissible to wrong the one who has made a mistake, or the one who is being discussed, by writing something that is not the case. This is injustice, and Allah does not love the wrongdoers. Yes.
