Lying to hide one's faults
Question
Is a person allowed to lie to hide his sins?
Answer
It is impermissible for one to reveal his sins to anyone. However if one had usurped the rights of any person, then he should return it. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/2086
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
