Lying is a great sin (Gunah Kabira) and there are severe warnings for liars. However, lying is allowed in some situations. For the safety of life and property and to remove enmity between 2 persons, lying is allowed, so that the hearts are cleared of enmity and a spirit brotherhood is maintained, as <b><span style="color: #339966">given in the Hadith</span></b>:<br /> <br /> <b><span style="color: #ff0000">Translation of Hadith: </span></b> The <b>Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) </b>said: The person who describes something against fact to strike out a compromise between 2 people, has not lied. <br /> <br /> However, even if a false oath might stop a big disturbance, it is not allowed, as there is no Hadith supporting this.<br /> <br /> Lying to guide someone out of the darkness of disbelief into Islam is not permissible. If the true words of Allah Ta'ala and the <b>Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)</b> do not affect somebody, then how can a lie guide that person?
