Whenever there is a law which, according to a Muslim, goes against his or her religious obligations, then using deception to circumvent that law is in itself a sin committed by that Muslim. The right ethical approach in such instances is to openly declare such laws as violation of one’s religious freedom and be ready to face the consequences as well if one chooses not to abide by such laws in a peaceful manner. An example would be how Muhammad Ali chose to face legal consequences when he denied being drafted for Vietnam war.
