Every type of falsehood
Every kind of lie and every method of speaking an untruth is HarÄm. Just as it is HarÄm to speak a lie with the tongue it is similarly HarÄm to write something false. Even to point a finger in expressing a lie is “HarÄm.” For example if a person who does not pray is asked by another, “Have you performed SalÄt?” and he nods his head. This tantamounts to lying and is a sin. Similarly propagating the words of a liar while being aware that they are untrue is HarÄm, and so is supporting a liar.
