Answer

(Fatwa: 826/654=L/1430)

You and your seniors all will bear the sin.

(2) In an exigent case when there is no way out except lie, then it is allowable to tell lie only for getting his right, averting oppression from himself, making reconciliation between two rivals and pleasing wife. It is haram to tell lie if there is no need to do so. Also, one should avoid telling open lie in cases when telling lie is allowable, rather one should resort to equivocation and prevarication.
