Liar, Liar

MuslimSisLilSis —

I'll keep it short and sweet

Lying is a sin in Islam-the one who tells a fib has a disgusting smell coming out of him which results in the angels running away from him/her.

We all know lying in Islam is a sin. And that Allah's curse is on the liars.

All I wanted to gather is a LIST of occasions when lying is permissible or even encouraged.

1 - In war to deceive the enemy.

2 - When you are trying to get people to be friends again after they've had a bust-up.

3 - When women ask does my bum look big in this.

1: yes. And to save your life.

2: you are allowed to if you are uniting a family. If the husbandand wie for eample fall out, you can massage the truth to get them back together. Just friends? I think there it may not be allowed.

3: unfortunately you have to take the wrath.

Salaam

Many people need to take lessons in diplomacy and tact.

Some people think that they can say anything to anyone, however they want because they’re “telling the truth”.

People who may be literally “fat, smelly, ugly, old, stupid” etc etc do not need to be told this in exactly those words.

Its all about just choosing your words carefully…if one does that they don’t need to lie nor do they need to deliver some harsh home truths.

Lying in Islam is a sin, however breaking someone’s heart is an even bigger sin.

wrong! its to feel good.

Jst like most questions relating to matters of vanity. You want a positive response.

You buy new clothes. You do not want people to say darn those are ugly! but rather how good they look on you. Most people will oblige with the compliments.

Is that allowed or not?

Probably not.

Just be honest. Or failing that we can keep our mouth shut.

Or reply 'yeah, whatever'.
