Question
My father is a bid‟ati. He insists that I sit in the company of a bid‟ati peer who says that he is a Naqshabandi. Is it permissible for me to lie to my father and say that I did visit the bid‟ati?
Answer
It is not permissible to attend the programs of the deviate who is a follower of Iblees. It is permissible to „lie‟ to your father in order to escape the evil of the deviate just as it was permissible for Nabi Ibrahim (Alayhis salaam) to tell the mushrikeen that the big idol had broken their idols when in reality he had done the deed.
