Islam doesn’t REQUIRE lying either. Only forgives it under certain circumstances (like self-preservation). Here is an interesting take by Relevant magazine that gives two examples in the Old Testament of the same sort of forgiveness by God for lying in the same sort of circumstances: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/god/deeper-walk/features/21429-is-lying-ever-okay

I’m no scholar of Islam. But my understanding is that it contains explicit teaching that lying is allowed.

This is very different from Christianity, which teaches unequivocally that lying is a sin.
