1. What is the best method or approach for gradually inviting non-Muslims to Islam, and are there specialized websites for teaching individual and group da'wah? 2. Is Zakat al-Fitr obligatory for someone who was in financial hardship at the end of Ramadan and possessed only a small amount of money, forcing them to borrow? 3. Is it permissible to lie to avert showing off (riya'), such as claiming that a charity belongs to another person and not its actual giver?
Lying is forbidden by the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. It is not permissible to lie to achieve a good aim. One can use tawriya (ambiguous speech), such as saying: “This charity is from one of the Muslims,” while intending yourself.
