Deception and Lies

Using someone else's student card to get a discount

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2024-02-17 08:03

Q: I currently live in Pretoria and work in Jet Park (I travel about 128km a day to and from work). Currently I use my car everyday to work and back. I have previously looked at the Gautrain as an alternative, however it worked out a little too expensive for me.

Recently, my small brother informed me that he receives a discount on his Gautrain trips (as he is a student) but doesn't use this discount as his campus isn't so far and it's easier for him to drive. As he isn't using this discount- He had offered it to me to use his discount to travel to work.

My question - Would it be permissible to use his discount for my benefit (considering he is a student and I am not)?

مسألة امكان الكذب

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2021-02-01 06:56

س:  أود أن تشرح لي بالتفصيل مسألة "امكان الكذب". قرأت الكتاب "المهند"، لكن الناس لديهم هذا الاعتراض ، أن رأي المؤلف هو خلاف الجمهور. يزعمون أن إمكان الكذب بالإجماع غير جائز عقلا. هل يمكنك تقديم بعض النصوص من السلف من الكتب المعتبرة؟ و هل فيه خلاف بين الاشاعرة و الماتريدية؟ و هل يجوز الخلاف في هذه المسألة؟ ولماذا يفرق بعض الناس بين "امكان الكذب" و "إثابة العاصي وتعذيب المطيع"؟ وإذا قلت أن إمكان الكذب جائز في الكلام اللفظي، هل يكون امكان الكذب في القرآن الكريم ايضا؟ هل في معنى الكلام اللفظي والكلام النفسي خلاف بين الاشاعرة و الماتريدية؟ بينوا بالتفصيل و الدلائل. جزاکم الله خيرا

Speaking lies to get citizenship

Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2018-04-19 08:29

Q: I have a relative of mine who has come here 7 years go, first as a visitor and than claimed asylum saying to the immigration that her husband has used domestic violence on her and her daughters just to stay in the UK. Her husband had agreed to put that claim in with her at the time. 5 years ago her husband has gone back to his country and had applied for a visa for the UK on a number of times and has been rejected because of the wife's claim of asylum. The daughters don't know who their dad is, one is 9 and the other is 7. Their mother is persistent to get the UK visa regardless how it's affecting her daughters. She is lying to stay in the UK and is getting support money too. Obviously her means of staying in the UK are nothing, just a British passport. What does Islam say about this?

Seeing the examination paper before the exams

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2018-02-14 06:33

Q: I just wanted to know if a teacher of a school is handing out assignments to a kid and by accident she puts one of the coming up test in that portfolio, if the kid practices that test paper (e.g. works on the maths sums) before the test so they know how to do it, is it haraam?
