Is it necessary to bring to mind a meaning that is not immediately apparent when alluding in speech, or is it sufficient for the words to be general and open to more than one interpretation? And is it considered a lie if the intended meaning is not brought to mind?

Al-Nawawi clarified that Tawriyah (equivocation) and Ta'rid (allusion) involve uttering a word that appears to signify one meaning, while intending another meaning that the word can also convey, but which is contrary to its apparent sense. This is permissible if there is a prevailing legitimate Shar'i interest or a pressing need, detestable if these motives are absent, and forbidden if it leads to taking what is unlawful or repelling what is rightful. It is incumbent upon one who needs to use allusions to intend the meaning that the speech can bear; otherwise, one falls into falsehood. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned examples of the permissibility of allusions when there is a need and an interpretation.
