Question: My mother and father argue incessantly, and as their children, we are compelled to lie to them in order to reconcile between them. So is this permissible?
Response: If that which you do is with the intention to reconcile, then there is no harm in that, in shaa.-Allaah; Because it has been confirmed in both Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim from the hadeeth of Umm Kalthoom (radhi-yAllaahu 'anhaa) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ saying:
«He is not a liar, the one who reconciles between the people, conveying good messages and saying good things» [transmitted by al-Bukhaaree no.2692 and Muslim no.2605]
However, it is befitting for you to try allusion and pretence instead of lying if that is possible.
And with Allaah lies all success.
