How does one repent from having sworn an oath and taken a Muslim's money by it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : She is afraid. He passes it. He loves you. This man is absolved if he swore a false oath and took another person's money.
The Shaykh : He is absolved by returning it to its owner. It is by the oath. The oath: repent to Allah regarding the right. The right between you and Allah is easy. Repent to Allah and Allah will accept your repentance, but the right between you and people is the problem.
The questioner : It is not upon him.
The Shaykh : He does not owe an expiation.
The questioner : Because it is a disaster.
The Shaykh : No, because it is regarding the past. Every oath regarding the past has no expiation, but either he sins or he does not sin, either he sins or he is safe. Do you understand the rule? Yes.
