Is it permissible to lie to one's father for the benefit of developing the company and the family, knowing that he will be pleased with it later?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Lying is not permissible except out of a necessity that cannot be repelled. Lying to one's father is not permissible due to the absence of a necessity that allows it. Instead of lying, one can use allusions (ta‘rid) and equivocation (tawriyah).
