apushatayid – “Health. This svara of yours that extends stretching the truth for sholom to parnassa. Is this svara advanced by any rabbonim or poskim or is this your own chiddush. Also, is it permitted to outright lie for sholom? Is taking a government benefit considered parnassa or a form of tzedaka? Based on your lomdus one may lie to a gabbai tzedaka in order so that he should have a “parnassa”? Am I misunderstanding something? Please clarify your position. If this position has the backing of a posek, can you name him?”
See above post. My own S’vara. You’re permitted outright to lie.
Tzedaka can be someone’s Parnassa. If you lie because they have certain guidelines that you aren’t in compliance with, it’s not a problem because they have no right to make those guidelines, as opposed to a Gabbai Tzedaka!
