In Islamic teachings, navigating a moral dilemma between truth and harm involves balancing haqq (truth and rights) and maslahah (welfare). Generally, Islam encourages truthfulness, as honesty is highly valued. However, if telling the truth would lead to significant harm, it may be permissible to withhold certain information or use discretion to minimize harm, especially if it protects someone from injustice or undue hardship. The principle of preventing harm (darar) can justify this, as long as the intent remains pure and ethical.
