Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are tapes that contain stories such as a person who died while committing zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and a person who died while drinking khamr (intoxicants). Is it permissible to have such tapes?
Answer:
No, lying is not permissible, and exaggerating to people is not permissible. What came in the Qur'an and the Sunnah of severe warnings and the punishments that Allah has established as hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments) is sufficient for us. As for us engaging in stories and imaginations and saying this is to frighten people, that is not permissible. Yes.
