Summary of Sunni concepts
Reprehensible honesty and praiseworthy lying
Honesty and its concepts were previously mentioned in good morals
Here we mention honesty that is condemned and not prescribed
Like talking about people's honor, even if truthfully
That is backbiting
Likewise, gossiping among people
Even if he was honest in what he said
This leads to spoiling the relationship between people
And lying, even if it is originally reprehensible and impermissible
However, it has forms that are permissible or desirable
It may be necessary sometimes
From that is the hadith of your mother, Al-Thumah bint Uqba, who said:
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, granted permission
Of lying in three
In war and in reconciliation between people
What a man says to his wife
And in a narration and a man’s conversation with his wife
And the woman’s conversation with her husband
Narrated by Abu Dawood and Ahmed
It was authenticated by Al-Albani
This is followed by lying to the oppressive oppressor
Whoever intends to kill a Muslim or harass or harm him
Then you must lie
Maintaining the Muslim’s self, honor, and wealth
Likewise, uttering the word “disbelief” falsely
With peace of mind when under duress
Lying in all of these situations is permitted
There is no blame on whoever comes to him
Rather, he is rewarded when it is obligatory for him, as we have shown
Because of the interest it achieves
Even if he believed that
For the sin of the one who causes corruption
