Fraud in bringing workers

Q 2: A husband does not have the legal right to sponsor his wife whom he wants to bring to Bahrain. She cannot enter the country unless her husband presents official documents stating that she will come to this country to work as a nanny for other people's children. The person who will do the visa papers for her intends that she will enter the country to live with her husband and children, namely, a nanny for her children. Is this permissible or is it a form of lying?

A: If this woman enters the country to work as nanny for her sponsor's children, there is no harm in that. However, if it is just to deceive the authorities and the real purpose behind her entering the country is to live with her husband and children, not to work as a nanny, this is impermissible and a prohibited lie.
