Question:
Among the questions that have come in, it says: Explain to us the noble verse in the saying of the Righteous One, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Al-Baqarah 2:225].
Answer:
Idle words in oaths are those where the one who swore did not intend to make the oath, but it merely slipped from his tongue without intention. This is idle, meaning it is not considered valid and is not established, and there is no expiation for it. Allah does not hold you accountable. This is like a man saying in the course of a conversation, “No, by Allah,” or “Yes, by Allah,” when he does not intend an oath by that. Yes.
