The ruling on lying to one's parent out of fear of punishment if the truth is spoken

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to lie to one's parent if the child has done something displeasing, out of fear of being beaten or of the parent speaking to him in a way he dislikes?
Answer: If the lie does not harm anyone, and it only saves him from his father's anger without harming anyone, then there is nothing wrong with it. For example, if he says, "I did not go to such-and-such a place," or "I did not speak to so-and-so," and this does not harm anyone, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
