The ruling on some writers saying, "This is a product of the imagination"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some writers write a story and say: "This is a product of the imagination"?
Answer:
This is not permissible; because it is considered lying. A person should not write anything except the truth; it should benefit people, and it should be advice that the scholars have transmitted with benefit, containing interests. As for lying; writing things from the imagination is lying: it is not permissible. I fear that the sin of lying will encompass him.
