The answer

Lying is a grave sin and a reprehensible trait, and it is among the characteristics of hypocrites. However, it is permissible if intended for reconciliation, such as reconciling between people, in war, and a man's conversation with his wife and a wife's conversation with her husband. Based on this, the questioner's action is not considered a sin, and it is better to resort to equivocation in similar situations.
