Can it be said that any lie that harms no one is permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does this imply that any lie that harms no one is permissible?
The Shaykh : This is not understood to be the case, for every person has a share of their own time in which they are accustomed to certain things. If one begins to lie on the pretext that it harms no one, he will let the reins slip and fall into forbidden lying. Rather, there must be something that justifies such lying.
