Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who swears oaths frequently, whether truthfully or falsely?
Answer:
It is not permissible.[Al-Qalam 68:10] Swearing frequently is the habit of the hypocrites; one of the signs of the hypocrites is that they swear to lies while knowing it, and they make use of frequent oaths because they are liars. Therefore, it is not permissible to be lax with oaths. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said, "And keep your oaths." So one should not swear except when there is a need to swear, and one should not swear except while being truthful. Yes.
