Question:
Aslamu Alaikum Wa Rehmatullah. I want to ask that is it allowed to speak lie to protect our self from the company of those who don’t remember Allah, don’t follow His orders, who use to discuss just worldly and bad things. I feel very uncomfort in such company and sometimes due to the effect of that company I also become a part of such type of bad and worldly discussion because i am not enough spiritually strong to obviate the bad effects of such company.when i leave them i feel too much guilty and make taubah. please guide me in the light of Quran and Sunnah. If it’s not right then please tell me some ways. waslaamu alaikum wa rehmatullah
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
The answer is yes but prevention is better, i.e. avoid their company altogether as “One follows the religion of the friend one keeps.”
