In this episode of The Speaking Quran (Ep. 34), we explore one of the most debated ethical questions in Islam: Are there situations where lying is actually allowed?
Through the tafseer of Surah Yusuf (12:69–76), we uncover the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) reuniting with his brother Binyamin and the dramatic moment when Yusuf accuses his brothers of theft. Was this a lie? Or a divine strategy for a greater good?
We dive deep into:
- The reunion of Yusuf and Binyamin
- Why Yusuf accused his brothers of stealing — was it a “lie”?
- The Islamic concept of Islah (reform) and when lying is permitted
- Tawriyah (concealment), Taqiyyah (protection), and the idea of a “white lie”
- Real examples from the Qur’an and Hadith, including Prophet Ibrahim and Ammar ibn Yasir
This tafseer sheds light on a topic many Muslims have wondered about: When is it okay to hide the truth?
