The Ruling on a Mother Telling Her Children Fictional Stories

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

I have small children, and at night or even during the day they ask me to tell them a story. So I imagine a story from my mind and tell it to them. Is this considered forbidden lying?
Answer: I do not know. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
