Would it sometimes be ok for believers to lie or deceive others in order to protect themselves? (Taqiyya or Kitman)

Bible: No       Qur'an: Yes

Proverbs 6:16-17 – 16. These six things doth the Lord hate… an abomination to him… 17. a lying tongue…

Zephaniah 3:13 – The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth.

Ephesians 4:25 – Wherefore, put away lying... Revelation 21:8 & 278. But… all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone… 27. There shall in no way enter… he that… maketh a lie…


Al-Baqarah 2:225 – Allah will not call you to account for that which is unintentional in your oaths.

At-Tahrim 66:2 – Allah has made lawful for you (Muslims) absolution from your oaths...

Note: Taqiyya = saying something that isn’t true. Kitman = Lying by omission
