The Ruling on Lying to Reconcile Disputing Parties

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to lie in order to reconcile disputing parties?

Answer:
Lying to reconcile disputing parties is permissible. Lying is permissible in three cases: to reconcile within the household, for the sake of the wife to improve the relationship, and because war is deception.
