Q 2: I am a practicing Muslim - all praise be to Allah - and I really hate lying, but
the nature of my job sometimes forces me to lie
to the insurance inspector and to the tax officer when they ask about the number of employees in the nursery. I do this on the direct orders from the Board of Directors. What is the ruling on that?
A:
It is not permissible to lie; it is obligatory on you to stick to telling the truth always, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
“Beware of lying! For lying leads to immorality and immorality leads to Hellfire. (Part No. 26; Page No. 57) A person will keep on telling lies and seek to tell lies until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.”
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
