In Islam, taqiyya (Arabic: تقیة, romanized: taqiyyah, lit. 'prudence') is a concept that refers to a Muslim concealing their faith or religious identity to protect themselves from danger. Although the term stems mainly from discrimination against the minority Shiite tradition, it is also considered a legitimate practice under certain conditions in Sunni sources.
