Moral Lie? Kant says no

In class today we discussed Kant and his philosophy on telling a lie. His belief is that a lie should never be told in order to be moral. He believes that the morally right thing to do is to tell the truth always in the idea of “non-consequentialism”. He used an example where a friend of mine was to come to the door running from an ax murder. My friends comes to my door asking to hide in my house. Not too long after my friend, the ax murder come to my door asking if my friend is hiding in my house, when I lie and say “No he went that way.” At this point in time I was aware that my friend had gotten scared and snuck out the back door and went the way that I directed the ax murder, leading to his death. Kant’s take on this situation is that I should not have lied to protect my friend because I cannot predict the future or what the consequence would be behind telling a lie. In the case the lied I told got my friend killed. However, in my opinion the lie does not make me wrong morally. I don’t agree with Kant’s philosophy on telling a lie because in this case it was for the benefit of my friend’s life. I was playing the hero trying to save him. Even though my lie lead him to his death I had good intention, unlike telling the truth were to my knowledge he had no choice but to be killed. I feel like if someone was to tell a lie with good intentions to help someone that is still moral. Lying to protect someone is not immoral in my opinion no matter what the consequence turns out to be.
