Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a Muslim to deceive a disbeliever or deprive him of his right?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to deceive a disbeliever. A believer does not deceive, betray, or trick; rather, he is truthful with the believer and with the disbeliever. Do not deprive people of their things; this is general for all people. It is not permissible [to do so] to a disbeliever who trusts you, and this also harms Islam. If you deceive a disbeliever, this harms Islam and turns people away from Islam. Yes.
