We request guidance for the general Muslim community regarding April Fools' Day, which recurs from time to time?
Answer:
This is imported from a set of false customs and is not among the practices of Muslims. Lying is not permissible, neither in April nor at any other time. Lying is forbidden. Lying about Allah, lying about His Messenger, and lying to people are all forbidden, and it is a major sin among the major sins. Allah has forbidden lying, warned against it, and threatened the liars. Therefore, lying is not permissible at any time.
