Taqiyya (تقية pronunce alternative taqiyeh, taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) è una forma di dissimulazione religiosa,[1] o un esonero legale con il quale un individuo credente può negare la sua fede Islamica o commettere atti illegali o atti blasfemi nel momento in cui rischiano di essere gravemente perseguitati.[2] Tutto questo_ è basato su dei versetti Coranici che istruiscono i Musulmani a non "avere per amici o sostenitori i Miscredenti invece dei credenti... eccetto per precauzione,__"[3] and to not utter unbelief "except [while] under compulsion".[4]

This practice is emphasized in Shi'ite Islam whereby adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution, or compulsion.[5] Taqiyya, as it is known today, was developed to protect Shi'ites who were usually in the minority and under pressure from the Sunni majority. In the Shi'ite view, taqiyya is lawful in situations where there is overwhelming danger of loss of life or property and where no danger to religion would occur thereby.[1]

The term taqiyya is generally not used among Sunnis. However, it has been discussed in a positive and clear manner by several Sunni scholars such as Ibn Kathir[6] and Al-Suyuti,[7] and the actual concept itself does exist within Sunni jurisprudence (Fiqh).[8][9] There are also a few historically documented cases of Sunnis practicing taqiyya where it was necessary. For example, in the inquisition miḥna during the Caliphate of al-Ma’mun, a number of Sunni scholars used taqiyya, attesting to the Qur’an as having been created despite believing the opposite.[10]

Critics of Islam are often ridiculed because they tend to conflate the doctrine of taqiyya with that of lying in general, leading to the mislabelling of all forms of religious lying as an example of "taqiyya". However, taqiyya forms only a single aspect of lying within Islam, not the entirety of the subject itself.
