What is the ruling on benefiting from accounts registered with unreal data, and is it obligatory to delete them and everything that has been benefited from through them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Lying is forbidden and impermissible. However, lying about one's birth date to create an email account does not affect its acceptance or rejection, and its purpose is merely to fill in data. Therefore, there is no sin in benefiting from what results from this email, and it does not need to be deleted. The questioner is advised to persist in supplication, distract themselves from obsessive thoughts, and consult a psychiatrist.
