(pbuh) has asked us to tell the truth even under the harshest
circumstances of oppression. However, one may choose not to tell the
truth in the following situations:
a). He is under oppression and there is danger of losing his life if
he told the truth. Shaikh Saadi narrates a story, "A cruel king
ordered an innocent man from village present in his court to be killed
because of his lack of manners. Hearing this, the villager started to
curse the king in his native language. The king asked the prime
minister, who understood that villager's language, to tell him what
that villager was saying. The wise minister, instead of telling the
truth, told the king this villager is sorry for his conduct, praising
his greatness and asking for his mercy. The king was affected and he
spared the life of that innocent villager." Shaikh Saadi calls this a
"lie with wisdom."
b). To promote mutual relationship between spouse, i.e., if wife asks
you, "Am I beautiful?" or "Do you love me?" there is nothing wrong
with saying "Yes," even if this is not the case. While these types of
lying are tolerated, it is crucial not to step over the bounds of what
is and is not acceptable. For instance, if a wife asks her husband if
he is having an affair and the husband lies and says that he isn't
(when he is) to make her 'happy' is not a permissible lie. This
scenario is not what the above hadith permits. This is a deceptive lie
which the husband is engaging in to serve his own agenda.
c). this also applies during war. If a prisoner is captured by the
enemy and perhaps asked how many soldiers are with his army, he can
lie about the number in order to protect his own fighters.
d). While making peace between two quarreling parties, instead of
igniting them against each other, i.e., "He said such and such bad
thing about you," just say, "He says such and such good thing about
you." Tradition: He is not a liar who tries to bring peace between two
people by trying to tell the truth.
e). to make unbelievers realize the truth as described in Surah
al-Anbiya (21:62-65) When Prophet Abraham (pbuh) broke all the idols
except the biggest one, the unbelievers entered the temple. Prophet
Abraham (pbuh) hid and put his ax in the hand of the chief idol. They
asked, "Who broke our gods?" Prophet Abraham (pbuh) said, "Ask the
chief idol, he has the ax." They said, "Don't you know he can't speak
or do anything?" Prophet Abraham (pbuh) said, "That's what I have been
telling you, so worship Allah (SWT), rather than these stones that
cannot harm or profit you."
Lies often roll off the human tongue just as fast as the moths are
attracted to an open flame. The consequences of both are sometimes
equally flammable. Being truthful is an endearing quality that we all
would be blessed to attain in our lifetime and is a commodity that is
becoming more and more scarce in this present world as the hands of
time relentlessly spin round and round.*
