Third type
The third type of ‘Toriya’ is when there is neither a purpose behind it nor one intends to cause harm to others. According to some Mujtahids this type ‘Toriya’ is HarÄm. This is because ‘Toriya’ is a kind of a falsehood and whatever proofs exist for the prohibition of lying could also apply for this type of ‘Toriya’. Secondly there is nothing to prove the legality of this third type of ‘Toriya’. However, some of the Mujtahids are of the opinion that this kind of ‘Toriya’ is not HarÄm. For according to them all those proofs that permit ‘Toriya’ are also applicable to this type and hence it is not a lie.
However, the precautionary method is to resort to ‘Toriya’ only when it is certain that it permissible.
