Permissibility Of Equivocality And Lies [Tawriah (Double Entendre)]
It is the person to decide on the spot whether it is a good time to use it or not. It is used to avoid conflicts and unpleasant situation, big or small makes little difference.
@Irfan76 sir if for example someone asks me do you even have a penny, where he wanted to ask that do I have any money? and I reply no I don’t have penny although I had notes. even though I know he won’t ask for money, and I wanted to refuse him. even though I knew he won’t ask money. there was no problem to be avoided or no good goal to be achieved. but I just said it for my own fun and to keep him thinking otherwise for fun, without any reason. this would be fully halal? or similar to lie? or Haram? or small sin?
In legal matters any ambiguity is supposed to harm others.
