Ghazali at the end of a chapter under the title of leaving liein"
Ehyaol Oloum" writes: some people believe that fabrication of traditions
in the virtues of actions and intensification of vices is permitted.
Then he adds: this is just a false desire and fancy, because itsadvantages
never overweigh corruption of lie. Moreover, there isnot any necessity for
this, and there are enough correct versesand traditions in each respect. On the
other hand, introducingthis custom may result in discomposure and perturbation
ofreligion.. [2]
But we believe such foolish actions and ideas belong to thebase, fool and
unaware individuals who assume themselves more compassionate than God and
Prophet S. A. for Islam. This is a pure evil and is thoroughly harm and
corruption. The danger of this action and such like fool friends is not less
than the danger of enemies for Islam.
What is equivocation ?
Equivocation refers to the speech, from the appearance ofwhich something is
understood, while the purpose of speaker is something else.
It is well known among our jurists that the cases in which lieis prescribed
for an exigency, equivocation should be applied, and as far as equivocation is
possible, explicit lie is notadvisable.
