The Ruling on Lying Without Necessity
A woman was forced to lie to the police officer in the sanctuary to be able to enter the courtyard of the Kaaba due to her strong desire to pray there like her friends. Is this considered lying, and is there any consequence for her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: In such situations, a person should be evasive, so it does not become outright lying, and we ask God to forgive her, and God knows best.
