Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuPraise be to Allah who is the Master of All the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings, and salutations be showered upon His Last Messenger, Our Most Beloved Prophet Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam).Jazak'Allah for your question. In making a delay for telling the truth, it depends on how urgent the truth is required. For example, someone may want to know the truth, at that very moment, in which case one may not give the correct answer, but merely conceal what is true. Another scenario one may face, is that the truth is not known, yet the person wanting to know, may not express it's urgency, although he may want to know eventually. At this stage, there does not seem to be any hard and fast rule, which states that a person must disclose the truth, within a limited period of time. The last situation is one that the person to whom the truth needs to be told, does know at all, yet he/she has a right to know, and without them knowing, situations like marriage will not take place. At this point, I think it is worth noting, that it is not necessary, that a person discloses the truth, especially in circumstances where a marriage will not be saved. Therefore, it would be better to conceal the truth, so that any future marriage may not be jeopardised. Allah the Almighty says: 'wa kunu ma'as sadiqin''and become amongst those who are truthful'But this does not mean that you should go around saying things out of context, and at the wrong time, especially where something like a marriage is at stake. If the person to whom the truth is to be told, will eventually find out, then there isnt really the need to speak. Finally, in relation to point number one, then where someone requires the truth urgently, and there is no other method of progression, save telling the truth, then it is deemed necessary to state what is true, as it may lead to unexpected events occuring, if the truth is not told. I hope the two or three points will be of some help to you, and if you are unsure about anything, that please contact me again. May Allah the Almighty, keep us all upon what is true, and may He save us from all types of falsehood. (Amin).Wallahu Alamu BiththawaabM. Waseem Ashrafi
