didnt know it existed but apparently Shia Muslims practice it, its basically you are allowed to lie in a life or death situation
The prophet himself peace be upon him gave the green light.
Stop saying it is a Shia thing
Sure Shias historically used it often to protect themselves from Sunnis killing them but Sunnis also practice Taqiya.
Here is Quranic proof:
Let not the believers take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.
Surah Al-Imran, verse 28 transliteration of Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Here is a Sahih Hadith
The non-believers once caught Ammar-bin-Yaser (ra) and they forced him to praise their false gods and to condemn Prophet Muhammad (s). They forced him to an extent that Ammar bin Yasir (ra) gave in, and conceded to their demands. After that, when he returned to the Prophet Muhammed (s), Ammar (ra) narrated the whole story to him (s). Prophet Muhammad (S) asked him: “How do you feel in your heart?” To which Ammar (A.S) replied: “I am fully content with Allah’s religion in my heart”. To this Prophet Mohammed (S) said: “If non-believers ask you to say the same again, say it”.
The chain is Sahih’ (al-Deraya fi Takhrij ahadith al-Hidaya, volume 2 page 197). Imam al-Hakim said: ‘Sahih according to the conditions of two Sheikhs (Bukhari & Muslim)’ ( al-Mustadrak, volume 2 page 357) while Imam al-Dhahabi echoed the same (Talkhees al-Mustadrak). Ibn Kathir said: ‘The chain is Sahih’ (Irshad al-Faqih, volume 2 page 295).
Been drawn towards Islam lately, particularly Sufi practices, teachings & ideology which I know isn’t a separate sect
I really love the way Islam venerates the Divine, it’s beautiful

Right now my wife gifted me with the Bird Parliament so ima start reading that
According to wiki, Sunnis can do it too but in the presence of non-Muslims (idtirar?). Like they can eat pork if under duress, etc...
Brother there is no objective position on things like this in islam. It would all be up to what scholar you talk to or personal choice. But as far as the concept of taquiya there is only one ayat about it that says u can lie only to protect your life in a case of certain death. Not this broad thing that racists turned it into
