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?
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).
