Here is the basis of Islam.
Lying to a muslim is forbidden and is a sin.
Lying to non muslims is not only allowed but is encouraged. Taqiyya provides muslims to lie to a non muslim without committing a sin.
Taqiyya, Tarwiyya, Kitman/Deceit Taqiyya is saying something that isn 't true/lying for Islam. Kitman is lying by omission ie leaving out a part of a verse. Tawriya, is a deception.
