Lying in Matters of Religion – Imam Yama Niazi Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes people declare things halal (permissible) or haram (impermissible) without knowledge. Imam Yama Niazi expresses the gravity of the sin of lying and, even more so, lying about our religion. We must be extra cautious when we quote a verse from the Quran or Hadith. We are warned against ascribing even a word to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he did not say. Additionally, Imam Yama Niazi emphasizes the importance of taking knowledge only from the people of knowledge.
