*     A hadith explains, “Lying is not right except in three places; when a man says something ˹false˺ to his wife, lying during a fight, and lying to reconcile between people.”^[1]

*     There are three permissible scenarios in which to lie. There is no sin involved if one were to lie here.

1.    To save oneself from the evil of an oppressor.

2.    When two Muslims have their differences, and you wish to bring peace. For example, telling Zayd that Bakr praises him or gives him salam. Then, one tells Bakr a similar thing in order to end their dispute.

3.    For a husband to say something that did not happen to please his wife.^[2]
