Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is your advice for a man who has reached the age of sixty, and he does not stop lying, and he also backbites people?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to fear Allah and to guard against lying and backbiting, whether he is sixty years old or younger or older. Lying is forbidden for all people, so he has no right to lie, even if he is young, and he has no right to lie even if he is a hundred years old.
And he must also guard against backbiting. Allah the Exalted says: [Surah al-Hujurat: 12].
Lying is among the ugliest of traits, and it is among the characteristics of the hypocrites, so one must guard against it. And if the person is advanced in age, the sin is more severe. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
