Reference: Sharh ‘Umdatil-Fiqh – Tape No.4, Question No.57
Question: Is it permissible for me to lie to the one I give charity to, by saying this charity is not from me, but from someone else?
Response: [No, just] say this is from someone; don’t say [from] someone else, just [say] someone. He himself will understand it is from someone else, and you haven’t [had to] lie to him.
