What is the ruling on borrowing a house plan and a sum of money to present them to the minister, with the aim of expediting the acquisition of a plot of land that the applicant is entitled to?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What the man did—presenting a house plan that wasn't his and misleading officials into believing he possessed some of the building costs—is not permissible. This is because it is either a useless lie, or a lie and deception that misleads officials into thinking he is ready to begin construction when he is not. The man erred in what he did, but this does not necessitate prohibiting his use of the land if he obtains it and the conditions for his entitlement are met.
