The Obligation of Repentance from Lying

Question:
He says: Also, during that Hajj, I had five hundred riyals in my pocket. I told that relative of mine: I have no money with me, on the condition that he pay the cost of the sacrificial animal for me, as I needed the money after performing the rites of Hajj. He bought the sacrificial animal for me and spent on me throughout the days of Hajj. I repaid him afterwards. Did I commit a sin?

Answer:
You must repent and seek forgiveness from Allah for the lie, because you lied and said, "I have no money with me." If you had stated the truth that you had a little money that you needed, that would have been the obligatory course of action, and you had no need to lie. You could have said to him: "Lend me the money; I have some, and I will, if Allah wills, repay you your right afterwards." As you did, and he was kind to you and fulfilled your need, and praise be to Allah. Muslims are like this; they help one another. But there is no need for lying. If you had explained it, you could have said: "Yes, I have a little money, but it is not enough for me, and I want you to lend me and help me." There is nothing wrong with that. But saying, "I have nothing with me," is a lie, and you must repent to Allah from it.
