Allah Ta'ala is free from all defects

Q: I have heard muftis saying that it is wrong to say that Allah Ta'ala has the Power to lie. Defects are not under His qudrat, since lying is a defect and Allah Ta'ala is free from all defects. Please clarify.

A: This is obvious that Allah Ta`ala is free from all defects. Just as it is impossible for you to eat sewage, even the thought of this is unimaginable. Hence it is unimaginable for Allah Ta`ala to speak a lie.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
