Abstract

As one of the examples of human social relations, games deserve attention and careful consideration from religious experts. The game of Citizen and Mafia is one of the group games that has received attention today. In jurisprudential books, the category of games and play has been mostly discussed in terms of betting and its rulings; but it seems that there are many other aspects that require jurisprudential attention. One of the aspects that should be examined in the game of Citizen and Mafia is the jurisprudential ruling on lying in conversations within this game, especially by the mafia group. The possible variables of the problem are gibberish, humorous lies, lies in ineffective news, lies in credit matters, and games and play; in this article, using library resources and descriptive and analytical methods, the extent of the impact of each of these variables and its relationship with the game of Citizen and Mafia has been carefully investigated.
