Fraud is the act of using clandestine methods to achieve a certain purpose, and it often refers to achieving a purpose that is forbidden by শরীয়াহ (Islamic law), by reason, or by custom. This type of fraud is prohibited, whether it is against one's wife or anyone else. Fraud differs from permissible lying to one's wife for a benefit, such as fostering the marital relationship, provided that it does not infringe upon any of her rights.
