Umm Kulthum, daughter of ‘Uqbah, said:
I did not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) making a concession for anything people say falsely except in three matters. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would say: I do not count as a liar a man who puts things right between people, saying a word by which he intends only putting things right, and a man who says something in war, and a man who says something to his wife, or a wife who says something to her husband.
Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani)
}}
Because the hadith allows a Muslim man to lie to:
* Friends ("puts things right between people")
* Enemies ("who says something in war", see [[Taqiyya]])
* Man who says something to his wife, or a wife who says something to her husband.
The question arises whether there is any case for lying that doesn't fall into these three cases.
