Is it permissible to swear falsely in the places where lying is permissible?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to swear falsely in the places where lying is permissible?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to swear falsely. Whoever swears by Allah, let him speak the truth. Whoever is sworn to by Allah, let him be satisfied. If he is not satisfied, he is not from Allah. It is not permissible to swear by Allah falsely. This is the characteristic of the hypocrites; they swear to lies while they know it.
