What an inane question to ask. Everyone has the right to hide sins of their parents.
Good luck with what you seek though.
I am married, but that just comes from experience... Yes, everyone has the right to hide any sins of their parents and even themselves but that's what I would ask and I wouldn't be shy to ask and those that give vague answers to my questions would never be considered for marriage.
Cheating and deception are despicable characteristics that are beneath a
decent person. Intentionally distorting the truth in order to mislead
others contradicts the values of honesty, which requires an attitude of
sincerity, straightforwardness, and fairness that leaves no room for
cheating, lying, trickery, or deceit. There are many texts from the Qur'an
and the Sunnah conveying the meaning that cheating, whether the target be
Muslims or non-Muslims, is forbidden.
Accepting the guidance of Islam leads a person to truthfulness, which means
a person completely avoids cheating and back-stabbing. The Prophet of Islam
said:
“Whoever bears arms against us is not one of us, and whoever cheats us is
not one of us.” (Saheeh Muslim)
According to another report, the Prophet passed by a pile of food in the
market. He put his hand inside it and felt dampness, alth-ough the surface
was dry. He said:
‘O owner of the food, what is this?’ The man said, ‘It was damaged by rain,
O Messenger of God.’
He said, ‘Why did you not put the rain-damaged food on top so that people
could see it! Whoever cheats us is not one of us.” (Saheeh Muslim)
Muslim society is based on purity of feeling, love, sincerity toward every
Muslim, and fulfillment of promises to every member of society. Its members
are endowed with piety, truthfulness, and faithfulness. Cheating and
deception are alien characters in contrast to the noble character of a true
Muslim. There is no room in it for swindlers, double crossers, tricksters,
or traitors.
Islam views cheating and deception as heinous sins, a source of shame to
the one guilty of committing them, both in this world and the next. The
Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, did not merely
denounce them by excluding them from the Muslim community in this world, he
also announced that on the Day of Judgment every traitor would be raised
carrying the flag of his betrayal.
A caller will cry out from the vast arena of judgment, pointing to him,
drawing attention to him:
“Every traitor will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection and it will be
said: This is the betrayer of so-and-so.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
The shame of traitors — men and women — will be immense. Those who thought
that their betrayal had been forgotten will find it right there, exposed
for the whole world to see on banners raised high held by their own hands!
The Prophet of Islam said: “God said: There are three whom I will oppose on
the Day of Resurrection: a man who gave his word and then betrayed it; a
man who sold a free man into slavery and kept the money; and a man who
hired someone, benefited from his labor, then did not pay his wages.
(Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
One should steer clear of all the various forms of deceit and deception
present in today’s society. Cheating is common in examinations, business
transactions, and even between spouses and loved ones. Placing a label on
domestically-made products to make it seem that it is imported is a kind of
fraud. Some people give wrong advice when their council is sought and thus
deceive the person who believes he is getting good advice. An employee
should do the job for what he is paid for without any deception or
cheating.
Rulers rig the ballot to win elections and cheat the whole nation. Cheating
between spouses and having extra-marital affairs is widespread in modern
society. A Muslim should value himself too highly to be among those who
cheat or deceive perchance one might fall in the category of hypocrites
about whom the Prophet said:
“There are four characteristics, whoever has all of them is a true
hypocrite, and whoever has one of them has one of the qualities of a
hypocrite until he gives it up: when he is trusted, he betrays; when he
speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he
disputes, he resorts to slander.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim)
Therefore, a Muslim who has true Islamic sensitivities avoids deceit,
cheating, treachery, and lying no matter what benefits or profits such
activities might bring him, because Islam considers those guilty of such
deeds to be hypocrites.
