Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is the characteristic of a Believer to always be truthful. Undoubtedly, to speak lies is a grave sin. Allah Ta?ala detests a person who speaks lies and the Ahaadeeth of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) are filled with warnings against a person who speaks lies.

(Dalilul Faalihin V-4/380 Darul Fikr)

Abdullah ibn Mas?ood (Radiallahu Anhu) narrates that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: Verily truthfulness leads to good and good leads to paradise. When a person continuously speaks the truth then Allah Ta?ala records him from amongst the truthful. Speaking lies leads to immoral acts and immoral acts leads to the hellfire. When a person continuously speaks lies then Allah Ta?ala records him from amongst the Liars.

In another narration, it is mentioned that if a person speaks a lie, a black dot is engraved onto his/her heart. The more lies a person speaks the more black dots accumulate onto the heart eventually making the heart completely black.

(Shuabul Imaan V4/231 Ilmiyah)

Aamir (Rahimahullah) narrates: Whoever speaks lies is a hypocrite. Then he said: I do not know which one of the two i.e. lies or miserliness will lead you further into the hellfire.

We recommend you to use wisdom and speak to your wife with love and affection, advising her regarding the ill effects of speaking lies. Do not be insensitive as this may be detrimental. If it is possible, find out as to why she is speaking lies, then judge the situation and remedy it.

And Allah knows best
