PRETENDING TO HAVE SOMETHING YOU DO NOT

1589

“A woman asked the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, I have a co-wife. Would it be sinful if I were to pretend that my husband had given me something which he had not given me?’ He answered: ‘Whoever pretends to have received something which was not given him is like the one who wears two cloaks of falsehood.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Asma' who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
