Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I have a friend who is constantly swearing oaths, and he is truthful in his oaths. I have forbidden him from swearing so often, but he did not respond. Should I always fulfill his oath, or should I not fulfill it so that he pays the expiation and is deterred from swearing so often?
Answer:
If not fulfilling his oath serves as a deterrent for him against that, then there is no harm in not fulfilling it for the sake of deterring him from that. Yes.
