Lying to forbid evil


419

A: Lying about dreams is Haram (prohibited). There are stern warnings against this, which alone should be a sufficient deterrent, as the Hadith on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “One of the worst lies is to claim seeing what the eyes have not seen.” (Related by Al-Bukhari) Also, Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Anyone who claims to have seen a dream they did not see will be commanded (on the Day of Resurrection) to knot two grains of barley together, but they will never be able to do it.” (Related by Al-Bukhari) (Part No. 26; Page No. 59) You must make Tawbah (repentance to Allah) and ask Allah’s Forgiveness for what you did. In the future, when you enjoin good and forbid evil, you must follow the lawful methods and stick to truth-telling and honesty. We ask Allah to grant you guidance and success!May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
