Can Anyone leave Islam in front of someone if he fears that it can cause him death. I need hadees reference

I once saw some internet video discussing about essential differences between Sunni and Shia branches of Islam and I clearly remembered it mentioned Shia posits that one's religious faith (not the usual many different beliefs and knowledges) can be possibly suspended and dropped under certain situations such as imminent unavoidable harsh external causes or pressures while Sunnis don't accept such possibilities. I tried to find the exact source on internet but with no luck. Is there anyone here with sufficient knowledge can help clarify this difference in more detail?

The term [taqiya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiya#Sunni_Islam_view) is often flung about in an uninformed manner, suggesting that it is halal to lie to Non-Muslims about all manner of things, in particular about Islamic doctrine, in order to further the interests of the ummah. To my understanding that is not the case, I can't find any scholars saying that that's the case in that breadth. My impression is that taqiya is a pretty niche term with very limited applicability. What's easy to find are scholars that relate taqiya to being forced to recant Islam under duress, such as torture or threat to life or similar. I can't find any thorough description of the range, conditions, and goals of taqiya though. It's possible there's a big difference between Sunni and Shia fiqh here. **Question:** For what purposes, under which conditions, and to what extent do Islamic scholars consider it halal for a Muslim to lie about his beliefs and the doctrines of Islam under the term "taqiya"? There's a somewhat rudimentary answer regarding Shiism [here](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/16977/what-do-shias-mean-by-taqiyya) , but that doesn't really have a lot of info. The different schools of law might have important differences in how they deal with taqiya, so an answer from any school of law will be useful already.

I have a question regarding someone lying to stay in the UK for a British passport I know someone who came as a visitor to the UK and rather than going back abroad decided to claim asylum on domestic violence. Saying her husband has beaten her and has chucked her out with her two daughters, which is a lie she has told to claim asylum. Her husband had agreed to it when she put the claim in. 5 years ago her husband's visa expired and he had to go back to the country he came from, and the British Embassy there have his passport so he can't apply for a visa in Britain, because of what she has stated on her asylum claim. Her 2 daughters don't remember their dad but miss him when other kids mention their dads, the girls are aged 9 and 7, she has applied for indefinite leave to remain in the UK on the grounds of domestic violence. What does Islam say about this? Because from my understanding it's a lie: she is living for a UK passport and the girls are missing out to be with their dad.

Assalamu alaikkum! I need to know if it is allowed for a Muslim to enter a church or a temple or a gurudhuara? If so, is it allowed to eat the sweet or other eatables given there? Please do provide any hadeedh or fatwa opposing this. Jazakallah khair!!

One version of Donald Trump 's proposed immigration policies involves banning Muslim immigration from the USA: > **One of Trump's most controversial proposals was his original plan for a "total and complete" temporary ban on foreign Muslims entering the United States.** Trump later changed his position by stating that the temporary ban would apply only to people originating from countries with a "proven history of terrorism against the United States or its allies", or countries "compromised by terrorism". In Australian politics, we have a similar call from Senator Pauline Hanson : > After the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, Hanson posted a video on her Facebook page **calling for a ban on Muslim immigration to Australia**. How could this be implemented? > Trump... has suggested that customs agents ask, "Are you a Muslim?" and turn away those who say yes. -- NewsMax Which leads me to my question: **Question**: In the context of Muslim immigration bans, it would be desirable for a Muslim to momentarily deny being a Muslim. If a Muslim is asked "are you a Muslim" should they nevertheless say "yes"? I'd guess terrorists would have no qualms about lying to get through immigration. But what about the good Muslims? I personally would be unwilling to lie. Playing a role are: - Taqiya , which Wikipedia describes as "denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution": > Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief... except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah, and for them is a great punishment -- Qur'an 16:106 While negatives, being denied entry into the USA or Australia arguably does not seem sufficient to consider it as being "forced". So, by this logic, a Muslim should say "yes" and accept they're literally "going back to where they came from". In fact, it may be that responding "no" could be interpreted as apostasy , although they could repent after getting through immigration. (And, technically, immigration wouldn't be letting in Muslims.) - The Qur'an forbids (or, at least, strongly discourages) lying: > Then whoever argues with you about it after [this] knowledge has come to you - say, "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then supplicate earnestly [together] **and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars [among us].**" -- Qur'an 3:61 > Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him [say], "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. **Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and [confirmed] disbeliever**. -- Qur'an 39:3

I heard that Shias use a word taqiyya, in the al-Kafi book by Kulayni Imam Sadiq is quoted as saying: ... taqiyya is my religion... (Reference: الكافي للكليني (329 هـ) الجزء2 صفحة219 باب التقية). I didn't find English reference so I must give the Arabic one. So what exactly do Shias means by taqiyya and why it's so important to them to say it's my religion? If it's hide fellings, Ammar ibn Yassir can use taqiya and dissimulate his true felling and save himself and his family, Bilal ElHabachi too, Ashab El Oukhdoud too *[surat 85]*, Jesus disciple who are killed too. So what I understand in general is that taqiya is used when you're afraid, so begin afraid you're ready to do anything to save yourself, do what's not in religion, lie, commit haram. So what it means to be passion, since you can just hide. Is it more worth to lie or to face death with your believes if you're really religious and look the sake of ALLAH?? I want clarity please!! > Cursed were the companions of the trench when they were sitting near > it And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were > witnesses. And they resented them not except because they believed in > Allah , the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy [85, 5-8] > > That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them > not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers. [3,175] `
