Is it permissible to lie to one's wife regarding love by saying, "Your presence beside me in Paradise is the greatest bliss in Paradise," while being certain that the greatest bliss is seeing Allah, or "Your presence beside me in Paradise is enough for me, and I have no need for the Houris (maidens of Paradise)," or "Paradise without you is hell"?

Permissible lying to one's wife is that which brings affection and joy, such as showing endearment and making promises that are not binding. As for lying that alters legal realities and contradicts the texts of revelation, it is forbidden and among the gravest of abominations, and one must repent from it.
