Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on invoking death or a broken neck upon myself if I lie? I don't know what you are saying, and I stepped away from the microphone a little. If I lie.
Answer:
If he lies, meaning he invokes death upon himself if he lies, or a broken neck if he lies, this is not permissible. He should not invoke these things upon himself. However, he should use an oath, an oath by Allah (Mighty and Majestic), if he is truthful, and he should not use any other of these expressions.
