LYING is permitted in islam and sometimes even required, in three specific situations: to reconcile people, during warfare, to deceive enemies, and to please one's spouse, with the understanding that these exceptions aim for greater good, like preserving life or harmony, and are not for personal gain. The concept of taqiyya also allows for concealing faith under extreme threat to preserve life, though this is often misinterpreted as general permission to deceive.
